Meet the Author

Caroline Manzo

Caroline Manzo, star of the Bravo reality hit The Real Housewives of New Jersey, is the epitome of a strong New Jersey woman. Always putting family first, she is a devoted wife and mother of three children, Albie, Lauren, and Christopher. Caroline has been married for more than twenty-eight years to her husband, Albert, who runs The Brownstone, a successful catering facility in Paterson, New Jersey. The business has been with the family for more than thirty years and is one of the premiere event spaces in the state. Caroline is affiliated with several charities, including SCTNow, a foundation dedicated to stopping child trafficking within U.S. borders, CROC, a foundation for helping cancer survivors, Best Friends Animal Society, and Wounded Warrior Project. Often described as a feisty spitfire, Caroline manages to have it all—family, friends, and a career. In her opinion, all of this is what makes her a "Real Housewife" of New Jersey.

    Waste of time

    Same condescending point of view as seen on RHONJ. Was hoping for something for different.

    Not much to "Tell"...

    For a 51 year old mother of three on a hit reality show, Caroline Manzo should have more to "tell".

    The book is based on questions asked of her via email or presumably her radio show. Throughout there is a sprinkling of 'Ask Caroline' - fans asking advice. But I wouldn't consider this a memoir.

    As a RH fan, Caroline was never my favorite housewife but I could tell she was an excellent wife and mother. As probably most of those who watch the show mirror my opinion and a lot of her 'advice' is related to she being a good wife and mother. And kudos for her for stating - "my husband comes first"!

    My problem with the book is that she comes from a large Italian American family and said next to nothing about any of her siblings - even Dina, who she had been estranged from. There's really no substance. And, if looking for any insights into the show or gossip, you won't find it here. The only information she shares is her self-stroking "the RH staff is like family" and how she makes sure they're fed and gives them gifts at Christmas. In fact, there's a lot of self-stroking in this book - probably trying to justify herself to critics.

    Caroline's book is short but I commend her on writing a book and getting it published.
