sblisberg's review against another edition

Just not mentally in the right headspace to hear how dark his story goes. I’m so happy he is out and thriving and will finish one day. This story is worth listening to, just not after a family

JVN was always my favourite in Queer Eye. Their bubbly personality and their ability to make anyone feel seen and loved is incredible. I didn’t know much about their backstory before going into this book. 

The challenges and hurdles and experiences that they have faced throughout their life were sometimes hard to read. I am always amazed by the way people can come through trauma like that and be such a joyous and loving person, both to themselves and others. 

I do wish I had listened to this as an audiobook as I think I would have enjoyed it even more.
