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.

Pretty much exactly as I’d expect from JVN. I haven’t watched Queer Eye, but I have seen JVN in interviews and thought he was extremely funny and genuine and 100% what you get in this memoir. There are dark parts as well, so be prepared, but overall a really great and entertaining memoir.

For better or worse, this book is exactly in JVN's voice, which has a different quality read than heard. Full of references to the media he consumed, Over the Top truly allows you into Van Ness' head, to parts inspiring and to parts that feel like inside jokes.

I don't think it's fair to review this - it's JVN's story. It's intense - check the content warnings before reading.
