About this listen

The fan-favorite star of Netflix’s hit reality series Selling Sunset recalls her life in and out of the spotlight, an inspiring and surprising chronicle of adversity, tragedy, trauma, and success.

In the streaming reality series Selling Sunset, Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet is the charismatic, calm, and level-headed agent who effortlessly lands multi-million-dollar homes while sidestepping the drama of a cutthroat business in one of the wealthiest and most glamorous places in the world. Often thought of as the “big sister” of her co-stars for her compassionate advice and uplifting attitude, Mary is admired for her unwavering kindness. But behind her sunny personality is a remarkable story of resilience, forged by a life filled with profound challenges.

In Selling Sunshine, Mary candidly reveals the most grueling and darkest moments of her personal journey. Becoming a mother at sixteen, she was forced to rely on her own resolve and tenacity, juggling multiple jobs while attending school and caring for her son. With vulnerability and grace, Mary reflects on how her crash-course in adulthood not only changed her, but prepared her for the trials to come, including two painful divorces and toxic relationships. Despite the pain, she kept moving forward even in the aftermath of terrifying trauma.

Yet no matter how many obstacles she faced, Mary refused to let the darkness extinguish her light. It was that same strength and determination that eventually carried her to the top of her field and helped her cope with unexpected fame. Talking about her experience on Selling Sunset, she offers a rare glimpse at cast dynamics and the drama behind the scenes, and reveals the lessons she’s learned—from staying true to yourself to projecting positivity by supporting colleagues. Unfiltered and genuine, Mary’s story will inspire listeners to overcome life’s obstacles, and discover the power of finding their own sunshine.

Very good

Great insight into her life and her hardships. Didn’t particularly love the ad plugs and brand endorsements. It seemed forced.

Absolutely amazing

A very optimistic and candid story, honestly, just downright inspiring. I wish I had Mary's resilience. Thank you for sharing your story, it made my own similar experiences feel less dramatic and it helps knowing we are never alone in our grief. 5 stars.

Genuine, real, and unexpected! Love this!!!!

Mary’s story is raw, honest, and such an incredible show of how someone can come from a challenging position multiple times in life and show up triumphant. There is also some Selling Sunset stories in there that are so interesting to hear for any super fan.

I cried, laughed, smiled, and loved the whole thing, binged listened to her book in 24 hours.

I will also mention too, Mary’s speaking voice in this audio book is lovely and she is a pleasure to listen to.

Definitely a memorable memoir and I am rooting for her! Love this work she did and can’t wait to continue to watch her succeed.
