Publisher's summary

With a star that rose from unforgettable child acting roles, such as A. C. Slater in Saved by the Bell, to the forefront of today's entertainment media, Mario Lopez is nothing short of a pop culture sensation.

Now, as he turns 40, Mario looks back on his life with a newfound perspective and a humorous sensibility of how things have changed with age, divulging for the first time the endearing, surprising, and sometimes difficult experiences that shaped him into the loving father and husband he is today.

In Just Between Us, Mario shares a behind-the-scenes look into his successes and disappointments in the entertainment business and how his tight-knit family and long-standing values helped keep him grounded, no matter what.

With wit and candor, Mario reveals his most intimate never-before-told stories, including the details of his often tumultuous and largely public love life - giving readers a look at the ups and downs of his romantic past leading up to his happily-ever-after with his beautiful wife and their two children.

This is Mario Lopez unfiltered, for the first time ever.

As Sweet As He Seems

What made the experience of listening to Just Between Us the most enjoyable?

Learning that the Mario I THOUGHT he was (kind, honest, family man) is the Mario he really is.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Just Between Us?

Learning the truth about his first and very brief marriage

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Possibly talk a little slower at some points of the book.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were a few moments that choked me up, mostly the love for his parents and his own family.

Any additional comments?

It's so nice to learn about a celebrity that has a good normal family background, has "made it", and has remained true to his roots. If he's looking for any more friends, I'd love to be his friend!

Fun

enjoyed listening to Mario's story. understand somethings much better now. Glad he spoke his words.

Refreshing

Being a fan of Mario's, loved hearing about his life and values. God, Family and Faith are three ingredients to success!

Learned a lot!

Have always been a fan and so pleased with this book. Mario always looks out for the Latinos. Gracias Mario!

Fantastic

I loved that Mario narrated the book. It really gives you a great feel and sets the tone.

Loved it!

I've had the pleasure of meeting. Mario a few years ago when he did a Meet & Greet not far from where I lived at the time.. He was so nice and seemed so down to earth. That's what you get from this book...he's very open and honest about his life from entering the world of being a child star to becoming a loving husband and father. Some of his stories will make you laugh and a couple that might make you cry. All combined I found it very inspirational!

Loved it!

Hearing the familiar voice of someone who seems like my personal friend was the best part of this book! I loved the honesty, the candidness and the open demeanor of the book. As a Latina myself and a successful business owner I certainly appreciate what Mario’s story brings to the community. I’m inspired!

No just NO!

well let me tell y'all, I used to like and respect Mario but after listening to almost only 6 chapters, I just couldn't finish this book. He may have thought the readers would enjoy hearing about his sexual exploits as a TEENAGER but this reader/listener didn't like it at all! and telling about something as personal as the girl having an abortion, was just in poor taste! I am prolife! and I thought Mario was too. I'm sure his parents and family would have helped them raise a child!! or give it up for adoption!! NEVER is abortion the answer! NEVER! ok enough about that. I found this book borderline porn! I was like what if a teenager read or listened to this book!! ohmygosh I would NOT let any child of any age have this book! BAD Mario! just horrible!

Didn't love this, even though I wanted to

What would have made Just Between Us better?

There's no story. Just Mario talking about how great Mario is at everything, that's the story. It was quite annoying and uninteresting. He ended with a series of cheesy no-brainer quotes.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Mario Lopez?

Yes.

What character would you cut from Just Between Us?

There's only one character.

Any additional comments?

Don't waste your time or money on this book. Listen to JLo's book instead. Lots of real reflection there and she's incredibly sweet and humble. Mario should take notes from Jennifer Lopez.
