Teresa Giudice, eat your heart out!

One year after Real Housewives of New Jersey's Giudice bashed her costar Caroline Manzo and her family in her cookbook, Manzo is getting her due by inking a book deal of her own.

"Thank you for the opportunity Harper Collins It Books I hope I make you proud!," Manzo, 50, tweeted Monday, confirming news that her advice book, Let Met Tell You Something, will hit bookstores in March 2013.

With a title that plays on her popular show catchphrase "Let me tell you something about my family," the book will feature Manzo's lessons on family, friendship and long-term happiness.

"If you told me 10 years ago that I'd be writing a book, I wouldn't have believed you. But ever since the show, fans are always asking me for advice," Manzo explains in a statement. "They want to know my take on things -- on family, friendship, love -- so I decided to put it all on paper."

Manzo, who hosts her own virtual book club on her web site, CarolineManzo.com, is not the only Bravo star to score a HarperCollins book deal. Tabatha's Salon Takeover's Tabatha Coffey and Pregnant in Heels' Rosie Pope also have deals with Harper Collins' It Books imprint.
