I read Two's Company by Suzanne Somers, her new memoir about her and Alan Hamel's 50 year relationship. Alan kind of comes off as a know-it-all jerk throughout the book (he speaks in his own words), and Suzanne is her usual Suzanne self. They obviously love each other, but they feed each other's egos, which I guess is no surprise.

For someone who likes to pretend that Three's Company was simply a "stepping stone" in her overall success, Suzanne sure does lean on it a lot for her fame (for example, using a play on words for the title of the book, and there's even a whole chapter titled "Three's Company"). Though he says he is "over it," it's clear that Alan still holds grudges against the TC producers. Now Alan and Suzanne are both framing her contract dispute as a feminist thing, which I think is kind of ridiculous. I don't even think they really believe that because of the way they talk about some other stuff in the book, but since feminism is a hot topic now I get the feeling they are riding that wave.

She does not do any Joyce-bashing (like she did in After the Fall), though it's obvious Suzanne believes that Joyce was jealous of her.

I can't help but like Suzanne. Yes, she likes to humble-brag about how wealthy she is and is a little crazy. Toward the end of the book she even claims that the pharmaceutical industry attempted to assassinate her (with poison) because her health books put such a dent in their business! :eek: But Suzanne has overcome a lot of obstacles and I think she has to lie to herself a little to get through it all. And let's face it, a celebrity memoir should be a littttle bit trashy and entertaining! :lol:

Anyway, just thought I'd report for anyone curious about the book.

This sounds like an interesting read. I will try to see if they have a copy at my local library.

I got my copy from the library, too! It was a quick and interesting read. If you have read her other memoirs she does repeat some stuff, but mostly it was fun.
