Very vulnerable and heavy read with difficult subject matter. The book is still beautiful and uplifting, with some lovely humor. Jonathan shows that despite experiencing trauma and adversity, we all have the capacity to heal and thrive. Ultimately his story is about learning to love yourself and to forgive yourself, to care for yourself, to know that you matter, always.

JVN is lovely and has been through a lot. I finished this feeling like it was a light read even though the topics are heavy.  
The structure is a bit flighty as we move very quickly through things so sometimes i was getting lost. There are however some insightful reflective moments. 
Do be mindful of the tw topics as lots are touched on.
