Ina Garten's revealing memoir is out today — order it on sale for just $21
In 'Be Ready When the Luck Happens,' the beloved TV cook gives readers a peek at her difficult upbringing, long marriage and more.
If you watch Ina Garten on TV or follow her on Instagram, you know there's very little she can't do. When she's not helping folks stock their kitchens with the best food and gadgets, her low-key style is persuading people to purchase comfy shoes and classic denim shirts. Garten is also a travel pro — her Paris video guides on Insta are amazing — and she knows how to set a stunning table. Yes, Garten is best known as TV's Barefoot Contessa, but she's also an author with 13 cookbooks under her belt. Talk about #goals, right?
Today, Garten is adding another title to her catalog. But rather than doling out easy, elegant recipes, she's sharing her life story. Her memoir, Be Ready When the Luck Happens, is garnering lots of buzz because it includes a rare look at Garten's troubled childhood, her 50-plus-year marriage to Jeffrey Garten and more. The book is out today, and early shoppers can score it for almost 40% off at Amazon.
Garten has been in the public eye for years, so you probably feel like you know her. However, her memoir reveals intimate details about her challenging childhood and ups and downs in her seemingly perfect marriage.
Why is it a good deal? ??
Put simply, people cannot get enough of Ina Garten. The book is already a top seller at Amazon even though it was just released today. There's no doubt her memoir will sell like hotcakes at full price, and the price will likely go back up later this month, so ordering it at a $13 discount is a no-brainer. Heck, if you have friends or family members who love the Barefoot Contessa, order a few copies now and give the books as gifts this holiday season.
Why do I need this? ??
Are you in a book club? Do you have a long flight or train ride coming up? Tired of watching reruns every night? The reasons to invest in a good new read are endless. Garten will draw you in almost instantly because, well, that's what she always does. Her signature warmth and inviting personality shine through. Add her honesty and candor about the highs and lows of her life, and it's easy to see why this book is a page-turner.
Garten's 320-page memoir is available in hardcover, paperback, audiobook and as a Kindle e-book at Amazon.
