Jessica Simpson Celebrates Book Release Day With Stunning Black-And-White Photo

Jessica Simpson‘s memoir Open Book officially released February 4. To celebrate, she took to Instagram on Tuesday morning to share a stunning black-and-white photo of herself holding a copy of her memoir.

In the photo’s caption, Jessica called the day one of the best of her life, since it is the day she gets to “share her truth” with her fans. Throughout the past few weeks, little snippets of the book have been shared, including an inside look at her marriage to Nick Lachey and her struggles with addiction and diet pills.

Despite the difficulties she has faced in life, Jessica is opening up about her mistakes and troubles, admitting in the photo caption that through that acceptance, “we are bigger than the monsters and stronger than our fears.” She finished the caption by challenging readers to use her own work as inspiration to open their own books.

Jessica looked stunning in the black-and-white photo that accompanied the caption. For the shot, she wore a long-sleeved animal print top with dress pants. Her long hair was styled down with some curls. She stood in what appears to be the courtyard of house, with bay windows and landscaping visible behind her. She smiled broadly as she held a copy of her memoir. She seemed to keep her makeup natural and her nails were painted a light color.

The post proved to be extremely popular with her fans. Within the first two hours of being posted, it received over 38,000 likes, including one from country singer Miranda Lambert. Jessica also had plenty of supportive comments from her fans, who seemed to be just as excited for her on her big day.

“Love your story, then and now and your amazing journey!” one fan wrote.

“Everyone should use your example there might be a lot less heart heaviness in our lives!” a second follower commented.

“An hour into the audiobook and I’m hooked,” read a third comment, with an emoji. “I’ve laughed. I’ve cried. Proud of you. Always a fan. But even more so today,” they added.

Many of the comments were from fans excited that they could finally get their hands on Jessica’s book, which she has been talking about for quite some time. The book is available in print as well as on audiobook. To promote her new memoir, Jessica will be releasing a few new songs, as well as embark on a book tour.
