Who was your first celebrity crush? My mom swears mine was Michael J. Fox in Teen Wolf, but the first guy I can recall being IN LOVE with was Uncle Jesse from Full House played by John Stamos. I saw promos for his upcoming memoir and immediately put that “notify me” tag on the audiobook in Libby because I knew I HAD to hear it in his voice.
Charismatic as ever, Stamos delivers a very candid account of his life — the good and the bad. I loved hearing about his lesser known work (or lesser known to me, anyway) in theater, but my favorite part was hearing him talk about Full House. He spoke with his on screen fam with such love and adoration, it’s unsurprising the show has such staying power even today.
I wasn’t prepared for the heartbreak. As someone who has struggled with addiction, hearing him speak on similar struggles elicited more emotion than I was prepared to feel. And while I assumed there would be a chapter on Bob’s death, Stamos didn’t shy from his feelings and delivered a picture of grief so relatable, I was sobbing uncontrollably.
Whether you love him for his music, his time as Uncle Jesse, or Dr Tony Gates, this is a must read full of humor, behind-the-scenes goodies, and relatable life heartbreak and joy.
