I love JVN and loved this book! I respect so much him sharing his past struggles with such a mass audience, owning all parts of himself, and celebrating his wins. As he mentions the goal of writing this book, I genuinely believe it will help so many young LGBTQ+

This incredible book made me feel so seen that I'm taking it to show my therapist this afternoon. Can't really offer higher praise than that!

An absolute treat. I love how much work that Jonathan Van Ness has put in with his mental health that he can share all of this. And the audiobook is just so good. I would jump to read anything else that he publishes.
