I came off JVN's audiobook on a really high note and renewed love for Queer Eye. I was so excited to jump into Tan's books, but it just wasn't what I wanted it to be. I didn't really need for there to be fashion tips, and maybe because it was on audio, but it came across as a little judgemental. While there was LOL moments, a lot of it was pretty repetitive and the book could have been quite a bit shorter. While JVN really was no holds barred, Tan was a lot more conservative with what he let his readers/listeners know. I understand that he's a private person, but a memoir should have a little bit of grit to it IMO. I finished feeling vaguely unsatisfied and wanting more.
I did have a lot of fun, especially listening to that accent. I recommend the audiobook, for the bonus content alone. It has Antoni in it, do yourself a favour and listen.
