Kyle Richards' 'Life Is Not a Reality Show: Keeping It Real with the Housewife Who Does It All' Book Review

Kyle Richards, of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, may be known as a reality star and the aunt of Paris Hilton but she had been on TV and film since she was 4. The mother of four is now an author of her own book about how she balances her life in luxury. She is a hands on parent and active in the Hollywood scene beyond her hit TV show.

Richards was born and raised in Hollywood with older sisters Kim and Kathy. She remains close to her family but has carved a life of her own with her own family. In this book, she shares some of her secrets for staying on top of a very busy life.

Richards dishes on her kids, husbands, her career, and the demands of entertaining for friends and business associates. Her husband, Mauricio, is a high end real estate agent whom she describes as "the love of her life" and often supports his business endeavors. Richards is also the matriarch and the "go to" aunt for her sister's kids when they need advice. Her many hats are just some of the personal stories she shares.

While her reality show is enjoying ratings it is not without mishaps. The Richards sisters fight often and Kyle has often had to rescue Kim from trouble. Despite it all, Kyle manages to be happy for what she has and enjoy the happier times.
