What does “Give them Lala” mean? It means giving the truest, most honest version of yourself to the world. It means being authentic, bold, adventurous, and having an unapologetic approach to life. Hollywood is where Lauren Burningham, aspiring actress from Utah, fully embraced her alter-ego Lala Kent, entrepreneur, entertainer, and film and television star. Some say she’s rude; Lala says she claps back. Some say she’s too bold; Lala knows she’s reality TV gold. Truth is, without giving them Lala, Lauren could never have become the woman she is today.

A year and a half into our marriage, I found out my husband had been having an affair with a 19-year-old for six months. I filed for divorce and left. Two weeks later I met a man, and we fell madly in love. It was a fairy-tale romance for a month and a half, and he convinced me to join him on a romantic month-long vacation in Italy. Forty-eight hours before we were supposed to get on a plane, he told me he needed to go by himself. I was devastated. So, I had a decision to make. Either stay home and be heartbroken, or go travel Europe for a month by myself. And staying at home heartbroken? F%*k. That.

Ridiculous
In the beginning of the book it started off nice. explaining her situation with her mom, MTV, etc. Then in chapter 15 she started explaining her view of religion. I felt it was very unnecessary and belittling of the Christian Faith. you can choose not to believe... That's your right, but to speak so low about the Christian religion that some of your own fans choose to follow, turned me off and I wish there was a way I could get my money back.

This book was great! Kail has been through it all and she is still aspiring! I loved this book, I love her podcasts and I have watched her grow into an amazing woman on Teen Mom! I’m 58 years old, but this young lady inspires me daily!
Keep it up Kail, you are going to go far in life.

Excellent
We’ve been following Kail and the other teen moms for years. I never really thought of it as such but I was a teen mom back in the late 80s. I had to buy a house right after I turned 18 because I was pregnant. It was super hard. I was a single mom with two little kids and in college and I can’t imagine any of it being recorded for the world to see. It’s been great watching Kail grow up and following her success story. We are so proud of all you have accomplished so far and can’t wait to continue the journey. You should be super proud of yourself for overcoming everything and doing it mostly with grace and class. And your kids are just beautiful. You’re an inspiration and you give hope to young mothers. I hope you are blessed with everything good going forward. The biggest way you can change the world is by being a good mother. And you are nailing it.

I liked the first half the best - it felt more transparent and gave some stories about her life we did not see on tv. I felt the second half was a lot I already knew. She’s one strong person.

Great book!
I’m a fan of teen mom-2 so I thought I already knew Kail’s story. However, there is definitely more to the story then what is shown on MTV. Listening to this book made me look at Kail in a different light. I feel like the book provided more insight as to why Kail did the things she did on teen mom 2. She is a very strong woman who’s trauma has significant impacted her path in life. I had a few Aha moments during this book that made me realize why I made the life choices I did. I really enjoyed this book and listened to it all in one day. I rated the performance a 4 star only because I really wished Kail was her own narrator.
