Editorial Review:If you are already the head writer on a daytime drama, can you say your life is just like a soap opera? That's the question facing Bailey Connors, who is dumped by her girlfriend, saddled with the 22-year-old daughter of a network executive and driven close to madness by a friend's attempt at matchmaking. To top it off, she has been ordered to kill off the soap's leading lady on a special live episode, which will either be a disaster or the triumph of her career. But either way, love may be waiting on the other side in a very unexpected manner.
Sharon Stone is the author of Love Letters in the Sand and lives in Tampa, Florida.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Boldly hilarious
If you've ever wanted to get an insider's look of a soap opera and be captivated by a lesbian romance, then look no further than ALL THE BOLD DAYS OF MY RESTLESS LIFE, the laugh-out loud novel that takes place on a daytime drama. Author Sharon Stone concocts a wild ride with main character Bailey Connors, the head writer on the soap billed with the same name as the book.
Though it seems like a dream to work on a wildly popular show, Bailey doesn't have it easy. She not only has to cater ... Read More
Rating: - Enjoyable
I enjoyed this book very much and will keep it in my collection to read again some day. Buy it...you'll like it.
Rating: - Zany to say the least
If there was ever a book that fit the definition of zany, this one is it. Very few things make me laugh out loud, but I found myself in hysterics at the closing scenes. I'm not a fan of soap operas, but I do appreciate their spoofs. Bailey is the head writer for a show called All the Bold Days of My Restless Life. Every horrible cliche that applies to this type of show is attached to this one. What can you say about a show that has a main character named Aruba, her mother is Myrtle Beach and her ... Read More
Rating: - If you love satire, this one's for you...
I'm not a big fan of satire, so did not thoroughly enjoy the humorous side of this book. However, I was completely drawn into the underlying story. Bailey, the head writer for a daily soap opera with the same name as the book, seems to have a black cloud over her head. Her long-time girlfriend dumps her, her sarcastic response to a script change earns her a trip to the "Big Guy's" office, she is stuck mentoring a useless new writer who is related to a studio bigwig and ends up wreaking havoc, and she ...

Rating:  - As good as Soapdish and Tootsie!
In this soap opera spoof, the actors are as screwy as the people they play on the show. This book sucks you into their weird world and you won't want to leave! I loved the funny names of the soap characters, I loved all the personalities, I loved the way they interacted, and I loved the surprise ending. And I can only hope that with the way this book ended that there's a sequel in the works. I want more of these wonderful characters!
