My Foot Is Too Big for the Glass Slipper
By Gabrielle Reece & Karen KarboPublisher Description
So you got the guy on the big white horse, and the beautiful little mermaids, and the picket fence, and your life isn’ t . . . perfect in every imaginable way?
You’re not alone. In 1997, Gabrielle Reece married the man of her dreams—professional surfer Laird Hamilton—in a flawless Hawaiian ceremony. Naturally, the couple filed for divorce four years later.
In the end they worked it out, but not without the ups and downs, minor hiccups, and major setbacks that beset every modern family.
With hilarious stories, wise insights, and concrete takeaways on topics ranging from navigating relationship issues to aging gracefully to getting smart about food, My Foot Is Too Big for the Glass Slipper is the brutally honest, wickedly funny, and deeply helpful portrait of the humor, grace, and humility it takes to survive the happily ever after.

“Meh. While moderately entertaining (I did laugh out loud a few times), I find it difficult to read books written by beautiful people telling you to just love your body already. I did enjoy her take on parenting, though I don't have kids I imagine my parenting style will be quite similar to hers, and I can just picture my 4 year old threatening to "smack you in the balls". I don't know that I would recommend this book, but it wasn't terrible.”
