Summary

THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

“I like to think of Not All Diamonds and Rosé as the ultimate reunion. I know readers will be surprised, entertained, and even shocked at what’s in store." —Andy Cohen

Dave Quinn's Not All Diamonds and Rosé is the definitive oral history of the hit television franchise, from its unlikely start in the gated communities of Orange County to the pop culture behemoth it has become—spanning nine cities, hundreds of cast members, and millions of fans.

What is it really like to be a housewife? We all want to know, but only the women we love to watch and the people who make the show have the whole story. Well, listen in close, because they’re about to tell all.

Nearly all the wives, producers, and network executives, as well as Andy Cohen himself, are on the record, unfiltered and unvarnished about what it really takes to have a tagline. This is your VIP pass to the lives behind the glam squads, testimonials, and tabloid feuds.

Life’s not all diamonds and rosé, but the truth is so much better, isn’t it?

“This exhaustive oral history features dishy interviews with 185 cast and crew members behind the Bravo phenomenon. Fans will delight to read about how it all got started.”
—New York Post

Critic reviews

“[Not All Diamonds and Rosé] spills the tea (or the rosé, if you prefer) on the reality empire with extensive reporting from the series' casts, producers, executives, and more.” (Entertainment Weekly)

“As sweeping as it is scandalous.... Fans will drink this up as quickly as the Housewives would a glass of champagne.” (Publishers Weekly)

“This exhaustive oral history features dishy interviews with 185 cast and crew members behind the Bravo phenomenon. Fans will delight to read about how it all got started, which fired housewives are angriest with Andy Cohen - and a shocking, never-before-revealed incident that happened when the New Jersey cast went to Punta Cana. No wonder the book sold out after it was first released.” (New York Post)

Came for the gossip, stayed for the Kelly Dodd impression!

An easy listen to do the housework to. Some people have complained about the voice impressions but they weren’t too distracting and the Kelly Dodd one had me in fits every time it came on.. I’m guessing she wasn’t Amy Phillips favorite housewife! 🤣

The impressions were distracting

I am a housewives addict!

I love this book but I kinda wish it just bought it in physical form as the impressions from the reader were really off putting.

must have for housewives fans

really enjoyed this, a rounded view and loved to get behind the scenes. the producers and people from the networks views helped shed light on the real story and have helped justify some of what we thought we saw on the show but weren't sure.

A must read if you are a housewives fan

I am a huge housewives fan and am absolutely loving this book so far! Some of the impressions are quite good but others are a bit off the mark. Great to learn more about what goes on behind the scenes, and about stories we’ve seen on tv from all different points of view.

Overall its good

A good recap of all the housewives stories over the years. However, the missing perspective from Bethenny Frankel left a huge gap for me. I would've also liked to hear from Alex McCord.
The readers impressions of the housewives were great and brought character to the narrative. Although the Sonja Morgan impression sounded like Sonja when she's drunk and I found it abit jarring.
Overall a good book.

Please buy in book form

This would have been a great book but the narrator is awful. Her impression of each woman she is talking about absolutely puts you off. I turned off after the first chapter as it was so irritating and hard to follow
