Loved listening to JVN narrate their story. I laughed, cried, and learned loving yourself is a journey.
It feels wrong to rate someone's memoir, as if you're ranking their life and pain. My two-star rating is based only on the writing and pacing of this book and is no way reflective of JVN's struggles and triumphs. Jonathan is an amazing and powerful presence, and I hope this book is inspirational to many. It's not, however, well crafted or edited. The timeline, especially in the beginning, is all over the place, leaving the reader immensely confused about what happened & when. Cliches abound, and JVN doesn't really touch on how he overcame addiction, abuse, and depression, other than the generic "self-love and care."
Comme d'autres l'ont écrit avant moi, une personne et une personnalité incroyables ne font pas nécessairement une bonne autobiographie. L'écriture m'a semblé laborieuse et les longues digressions m'ont davantage ennuyée qu'autre chose. Des autobiographies d'inconnus auraient pu susciter plus d'intérêt que celle-ci... et pourtant! JVN, j'adore ton authentic self et je vais continuer de suivre tes projets. ❤ Mais pour l'écriture, je laisserais à d'autres.
What a lovely and heartbreaking story.
It's so nice to hear celebrities talk about their life in a real way, revealing that they are actual human beings.
I love that JVN is open about his struggles with being too open because it's such a real human thing.
Well, I didn't expect such realness it was refreshing.

I loved JVN before this, but wow. He shares his dark moments (aplenty), his long journey to hard-earned self-love, and weaves Olympics memories and his signature humor throughout. I appreciate his voice as an authentic example that self-love is possible but can be a lifelong practice.
