Summary

A heartfelt, humorous personal memoir and relatable guide to overcoming obstacles, wising up about romance and getting ahead in your career from the star of Netflix's hit reality show Selling Sunset.

In this engaging, witty and inspirational memoir, Chrishell Stause shares her story of living an unconventional childhood in small-town Kentucky marked by periods of homelessness, family addiction struggles and dreams of one day being on a daytime soap, all while managing the local Dairy Queen. Through resilience and grit, she overcame obstacles and pushed past every barrier in her path to become one of the most envied luxury realtors in Los Angeles and buzzworthy cast members in reality TV.

She takes us behind the scenes of Selling Sunset, reveals never-before-told stories from her life in soaps and even pulls back the curtain on her highly publicised love life, offering insight not before shared. With her signature honesty and charm, Stause also gives tangible advice based on the lessons she's learned over the years and offers unique insight about how to stay resilient and positive no matter how many times life knocks you down. Under Construction is for anyone who wants to remember that no matter what happens or how, you have to get up, dress up and show up - and walk back into the room stronger than ever before.

The most heartfelt audiobook I have listened to

I have gotten to know of Chrishell from Selling Sunsets. She has such a good aurora about her and I was interested to hear more about her life and her story.

She tells her story with so much love and passion. It made it easy to listen and those 4 hours just quickly went by.

I needed this book...

Whether you watch Selling Sunsets or not is irrelevant.
What is relevant though is that you can go through so much s**t in your life and come out of it the other side.
It's genuinely her advice that's given me the balls to go and say something to fight for my own right.
Amazing x

Very badly written

The writing was full of cliches and other people’s sayings. It did not seem to have originality or a unique voice. The positive tone seems so contrived as to come across as a fiction. I support the author’s other endeavors but this was hard to like.

Light hearted listening with good tips

It was pleasant listening but wouldn’t play a second time. If you like Chrishell I would get it

Lovely life story

firstly, if you're not a big fan of Selling sunset or Days, then you may not know who Crishell is? however this is a really nice story of her childhood and get life, growing up and into acting! it's an easy listen, sometimes a bit sad. If you're looking for stripey and graphical content then this isn't for you. But I really like Crishell and her kind and generous nature so really enjoyed this book.

Slightly more self help than expected

Under Construction is a sweet, optimistic yet vulnerable memoir.

Like many, I learned of Chrishell Stause through the Netflix hit Selling Sunsets.

This book had more ‘Self Help’ content than I had initially expected, however Under Construction is the tales of Chrishell’s life, how she came to enter television and her personal experiences and family background

Beautifully Raw, Inspiring and Comforting

Unlike many books that offer advise, Chrishell does this by completely bringing in her own experiences and isn’t afraid to share the darkest moments that so many of us don’t even share to ourselves. It’s this that helps you to feel better about your own experiences and keep on the journey of self improvement and healing. Massively helped me with my sense of grief and loss because as she says ‘it doesn’t go away’ it doesn’t always make you stronger but adversity can be used as a fuel to drive you. I will likely listen to this again I loved it. Thank you for being so honest.
