"The star-studded and sidesplitting follow up to The Andy Cohen Diaries The megapopular host of Watch What Happens: Live and executive producer of The Real Housewives franchise is back, better than ever, and telling stories that will keep his publicist up at night. Since the publication of his last book, Andy has toured the country with his sidekick Anderson Cooper, hit the radio waves with his own Sirius station, Radio Andy, appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher despite his mother's conviction he was not intellectually prepared, hosted NBC's Primetime New Year's Eve special, guest edited Entertainment Weekly, starred in Bravo's Then & Now with Andy Cohen, offended celebrities with his ongoing case of foot-in-mouth disease, and welcomed home Teresa "Namaste" Giudice, from a brief stint in jail. Hopping from the Hamptons to the Manhattan dating world, the dog park to the red carpet, Cardinals superfan and mama's boy Andy Cohen, with Wacha in tow, is the kind of star that fans are dying to be friends with. This book gives them that chance. If The Andy Cohen Diaries was deemed "the literary equivalent of a Fresca and tequila" by Jimmy Fallon, Superficial is a double: dishier, juicier, and friskier. In this account of his escapades--personal, professional, and behind-the-scenes--Andy tells us not only what goes down, but exactly what he thinks of it"--… (more)

Superficial: More Adventures from the Diaries of Andy Cohen

I Picked Up This Book Because: Library book due.

Media Type: Audiobook
Source: HC Public Library
Dates Read: 6/13/23 - 6/19/23
Stars: 3.5
Narrator(s): Andy Cohen

The Story:

Andy’s life is exhausting. The sheer number of activities he participates in in a day wears me out just hearing them. Although he has a busy life, he seems to have a fun life too. I found this book a little too long. I’m not sure what stories he could have cut and now I’m wondering what he actually did cut because we did not get a true daily accounting but anyway while I was entertained, I did feel like it went on a bit too long. His stories about Wakka make me second guess adopting a dog. Wakka deserves and has a loving home but some of his triggers causing him to bite people scare me. I also know he is sweet and loving 97% of the time.

The Random Thoughts:

I just googled “Brazilian Andy Samburg” and no title has ever been so accurate. ( )

Can’t remember quite when I bought this so we’re going with this date. Then we moved and I finally got back to finishing it. A lot of fun and a good winter read. ( )

Superficial picks up right where The Andy Cohen Diaries left off. It’s not much different. My review of it found here will tell you what that book was like.

There are two main differences. One, Superficial is much more about his relationship with his dog Wacha since Wacha is in it from the beginning. The second is that Andy is more introspective. He wants more from his life. Keeping a diary has shown Andy how repetitive his life has become. Yes, he spends most of his free time socializing with his friends and other celebrities but they are doing the same thing night after night. Readers will probably notice this even before Andy does.

The book ends before Andy started his journey to have his son Benjamin via surrogate. Although he doesn’t specifically talk about the process of deciding to have a child, the fact that he will is foreshadowed. I would love it if he wrote a third volume of his diaries that did go into his process of becoming a father. Maybe he’ll come out with another book in the future about his life with Benjamin.

If you enjoyed The Andy Cohen Diaries, you will enjoy Superficial for all the same reasons. You’ll probably like it more since it delves a bit deeper. I listened to this book right after I listened to The Andy Cohen Diaries and got quite used to having Andy in the car with me. I’m going to miss him! ( )

Another fun read from Andy Cohen! ( )

Let me say right off the bat that this was not my kind of book. I didn't realize that this was book two and it was written in diary form. It's really confusing when you're reading another person's diary and you don't know half of the people mentioned.
This book would be a read read for anyone who has read the first book and is more up to date on the people that are mentioned. ( )
