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.

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