emotional funny hopeful medium-paced

3.25

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.

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

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