Publisher's summary

For fans of Open Book and Sell It Like Serhant, 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 publicized 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.

Humble, kind and inspiring

I loved this book! I’ve always been drawn to Chrishell and I think it’s her humble, honest nature that draws you in. I appreciate that she didn’t try to overcomplicate her story in any way, she was just real and have applicable advice to be kind but not be pushed around. I couldn’t put this book down and I’ll definitely be revisiting it soon!

Relatable, inspiring and heart warming like herself

Dear Chrishell, I got interested in your story after watching my favorite show Selling Sunset. I love it because it’s about powerful, successful and beautiful woman! You are my favorite character because you are so sweet and kind( I didn’t know you have Asian blood until I read your book which makes sense now why I like your look the most because I’m Asian too) Anyway I want to thank you for selflessly and bravely share your personal story with us! You were so vulnerable and honest about your humble beginnings that it really shocked me and inspired me how it is possible to achieve big dreams even when you have nothing! It taught me to cherish what I have and not create any more excuses to not move towards my goals, no matter how impossible it may sound. So I am really touched when listening to your own voice narrating your journey! I pray that you manifest the love and family you desire because you are a rock star!! Hope to see you in another show!

Binged I’m one afternoon

I love Chrishell. For me she’s a role model, a successful woman who has fought for everything she has and she is today. Loved her story, her ups and downs. Her advice is also good and easily applicable to my own life . It is also extra especial that the book is read by her :).

What I needed to hear

Beautiful book and I love that Chrishell read it! Truly uplifting and a great way for me to kick off the new year. I watched Chrishell on Selling Sunset where I became interested in her story. Her book was already out by the time I watched the show. As someone who is forging their own path and healing from the past, this was definitely a wonderful listen. Empowering and reinforcing that you need to forgive the past and carry on.

What a heartfelt journey and a fantastic listen!

I listened to this book straight through! What a fantastic story. Heartfelt, funny, sad, witty! So many emotions in one story. And the narration? Chrishell telling us about her own journey makes this audio book even better. Her narration is masterful and you can really tell she’s an Emmy nominated daytime actress because her emotions definitely come through as she weaves this story. I highly recommend this book!

Can I Say AMAZING

Hearing this book has been a refreshing and uplifting I needed in my life. The way Chrishell told her story made me feel like I was listening to one of my friends tell me her stories. The vivid way she describes her memories and experience made me feel I could imagine them myself. It’s so powerful to see her she over came many challenges and still found reason to be a genuinely nice person. I hope this is only the beginning in her story telling and I can not thank her enough to share her story with the world.
