Boys Keep Swinging: A Memoir by Jake Shears

4.0

Rating: 4.0/5.0

This memoir was very well written. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Jake Shears have had his ups and downs, success and setbacks but he remains the guy who recovers from those setbacks. In this memoir, he tells us about his life from childhood to adolescent. His sexuality and how he was able to cope with it at a young age. There is also a lot of his relationships with different people and how they affected his life and how he affected their lives, the jobs he had before Scissor Sisters. The rise of the band and his addiction problem and how he battled it.

I loved this book because it is very wild yet at the same time very emotional. Jake Shears have lived a wild fascinating life and turned that life on paper in a wonderful way. His writing is fun to read and I did not expect that from a rockstar. Now the only thing left is to turn this book into a movie!

The book will be released on 20th Feb 2018 and I was lucky to grab it from Netgalley in the read now section.
