Praise for CHAPSTICK EATER Jackie makes everyone who's life she touches, better. Her kindness and goodness resembles that of Mister Rogers. In so few words, with simply actions and energy, she's taught me a great deal about how to live and treat others. She also just so happens to be one of the funnest (this non-word is fitting in context), goofiest, quirkiest, enlightening people you could ever hope to meet. Her words, in person and on the page, will make you laugh, cry, and cry from laughing. --CHARLIE BRENNEMAN, former UFC fighter, current motivational speaker, former roommate; current friend Jackie Della Torre is the most inspirational human being walking this planet. Not just for what she overcame, but for how she shows up for others. Her kindness, generosity, weirdness, and selfless commitment to others is so unique and endearing. This book is hilarious, weird, fun, sad, and inspiring; ALL at the same time. I love her, and I am so proud to be a part of her journey. --STEVE WEATHERFORD, 10-year NFL veteran, fitness and motivation expert and Jackie's best friend Jackie DellaTorre has always been like a sister to Jionni and if you want to know the kind of person she is, then we are here to tell you about her. Although she does what she can to embarrass herself (and us) by dressing like like a hot mess for the church at our wedding, or when she farts and still blames it on Jionni's dog (that died 10 years ago), we still love her so much and know she will always be here for us unconditionally. We are very proud of Jackie for authoring her first book and we hope you love it as much as we do. --JIONNI AND NICOLE SNOOKI LaVALLE, entrepreneurs; reality show personalities; Jackie's fake brother and fake sister-in-law Jackie is my very first Granddaughter and I have watched her grow from a beautiful little girl to a beautiful, talented, smart, and caring woman. She is our go-to girl who is full of kindness and joy for everyone (especially me). I am so proud of her debut as an author. --LORRAINE RINALDI, retired Rockette; Jackie's grandma
