John Stamos has always been someone I generally liked, but genuinely knew next to nothing about. After reading this book, I have a whole new level of respect for him, both as an entertainer and as a human being. This was easily one of the most engaging, interesting memoirs I've ever picked up and the balance between funny moments and heartfelt, emotional reflections on his family and friends was perfect. I cannot speak highly enough of this book and would absolutely recommend it for anyone who's ever been even a casual fan of any of his work.

I always liked John Stamos but had absolutely no idea about his life outside of acting and how much of an activist and ally he is for many communities. The part he spoke about his time in Cabaret hit me the most.
Also, I am so glad I listened to the audiobook because his voice is beautiful!! His story and personal accounts of so many defining moments in his life that were overcome by the media deserve to be heard directly from him. He is way more than Uncle Jesse from Full House which we all realistically know but many people still see him as the character (or another major character he played like Blackie on General Hospital) by default .
