Ratings and reviews

Absolutely loved it! Victoria Gotti made me feel like I was right there. I laughed, I cried, felt angry & betrayed as well. I love reading Mafia books but passed this one up numerous times before I bought & read it. Which I am so glad I did!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK!!! I'm not a book reader, but for me, this one is a real page-turner and could not put it down. I love the way this book was written. Victoria Gotti did an amazing job and really made me feel like I was there and feeling every emotion. I HIGHLY recommend this book! In my opinion, it really is a FANTASTIC book.

The book gave a lot of insight in the lives of Victoria and her family. Bless them for the struggles they've endured coming up.
