JVN was always my favourite in Queer Eye. Their bubbly personality and their ability to make anyone feel seen and loved is incredible. I didn’t know much about their backstory before going into this book.
The challenges and hurdles and experiences that they have faced throughout their life were sometimes hard to read. I am always amazed by the way people can come through trauma like that and be such a joyous and loving person, both to themselves and others.
I do wish I had listened to this as an audiobook as I think I would have enjoyed it even more.
