Jonathan Van Ness's "Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self Love" is exactly that; it's what you expect, but so much more. We get an authentic look from early childhood to "Queer Eye" in true JVN fashion.
All I can say is: buckle up, because it's one hell of a ride.
The way in which JVN opens the door and invites us into his story felt like sitting on a couch with a new friend; open and honest but still a little hesitant in some truly vulnerable places. While excruciatingly raw at times, you feel like he's holding your hand through the painful memories to find the humor and light. JVN perseveres to overcome the tragedy of his past and allows his spirit to shine through.
Be sure to listen to this in audio format. The impassioned voice that we have come to know of JVN can only be experienced through audio, and the raw emotion he exhibits as he walks you through his darkest moments allows you to feel the true depth of his sorrow.
"Over the Top" will give you all the feels. You come away from the book cheering, enlightened, and feeling more connected.
