From Glamour Model to loving mother and wife “A Whole New World” is the follow up autobiography to Being Jordan.

Having recently read and reviewed the first autobiography I felt it the perfect opportunity to read the follow up book. I managed to get my hard book copy from eBay for just £3.00 which was a huge saving as the RRP is £16.99!

Many people hear the name Katie Price and instantly think rude, big busted and tacky and yes they may be right, Katie is definitely a girly girl, she loves pink and the birth of her recent daughter has proved this to the public. My opinion is don’t take everything seriously that you hear about this girl, she may offend some people with her carefree attitude and don’t get me wrong I am not her number 1 fan, she interests me as many people do and it should be remembered that she has suffered bad experiences just like everybody else and she is entitled to happiness and this book shows just how much her life has changed for the better.

The 2nd autobiography takes off where the 1st finished where she had entered the jungle in “I’m a celebrity get me out of here!” and she met Peter Andre as we learned in the previous book she was in a relationship with Scott Sullivan when she entered the jungle and although she fell for Peter at first sight she was desperate to do the right thing and break off her relationship with Scott before declaring her true feelings for Pete however she was made out to be a tease, playing with Peter’s feelings when infact this was just a front and she wanted to declare her true feelings.

The book details how Katie met Peter and how she almost lost him so soon after meeting him and how the media and people within Pete’s management tried to keep them apart but after all this true love won! Sounds cheesy? The book is cheesy in parts and some people could find it quite unbelievable however I met my partner purely by coincidence when I was not looking for anybody and we fell for each other really quickly and found ourselves engaged within 12 months so I can totally appreciate how in love she was with Peter and how she wanted to keep the relationship a secret from the media to allow them to get to know each other away from the public eyes.

There are 16 chapters in total and for the first few chapters we learn all about Katie’s growing love for Peter and the many challenges that they come across and how she has had to change her lifestyle to make her relationship work, involving changes to the jobs that she took and a change in management.
Katie was desperate for approval from Pete’s parents and she details a whole chapter on how lies were told to the parents and how this could have affected their relationship and even led to the breakdown of their relationship.

As you read through the chapters it is clear that in Peter Andre, Katie has met her match as he was also popular back in the cheesy pop day and from his celebrity status came a lot of ex girlfriends, this led to a lot of jealousy from Katie and was the root cause of a lot of their arguments in the early days of the relationship and Katie hated comparing herself to his many exes and how different she looks to them and it makes her wonder why Pete fell for her you see how she overcomes her jealousy and develops a loving and trusting relationship with him.

Harvey had a whole chapter dedicated to him as we learn how Katie suffers many hospital visits with his illness and how she returned home one day to find him struggling to breath and it really hits home how much of a caring mother she is and how she would do anything to protect her son as most mothers do, she tells us the story of his absent father and how Peter has taken the place as his father giving him all the love he could ever need and treating Harvey as his own.

The book details a modern day love story of how Peter proposed to Jordan, how she hid her pregnancy for 5 months and how she planned the wedding of the year.
Unlike the first book “Being Jordan”, it does not really cover the many changes Katie has made to her career despite her references to the awful Eurovision Song Entry and how she was forced to partake in this to promote her music career and how she is desperate to be recognised for her singing ability and move away from the Glamour model image.

I am disappointed that this book has a very short timeline of just 3 years and in my opinion doesn’t really justify writing a second autobiography in such a short space of time.
If the book had been written a little later she could have talked about the many more experiences such as her miscarriage and how that really hit her hard, her delight at discovering she was pregnant with Princess Tiiami and her various television documentaries and how she now has a successful swimwear and underwear range. Maybe Katie doesn't want to blow her own trumpet in this book as she certainly doesn't come across as big headed in anyway in this book which is a difference I noticed between the first but she doesn't seem to like talking about her success almost as if it could be taken away a lot easier than it was gained.

The book only took a few days to read as there were only 204 pages, not including the images and it was such an easy read I just couldn’t put it down it was like I was reading a special from the OK! Magazine with a lot less glossy images! She does detail how she has coped with Harvey's illness and also her postnatal depression after the birth of Junior but there was so much more that could have been put into the book as I felt that it just went on too much about her relationship almost enforcing her love for Peter onto us.

An enjoyable read but certainly not anything to educate the brain.

Summary: A good read but don't wasted your well earned cash on it.
