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.

This book is a wonderful example of queer representation and coming of age. JVN inspires through their down-to-watch reflection of their past, and is extremely honest with readers from page one. I was hesitant to read/listen to this book, but I’m really glad I did.
