funny hopeful sad medium-paced

4.0

JVN / Jack is charming and vulnerable. At times it feels so painful to watch him make mistakes, but it feels validating to hear the story of someone who didn’t always handle situations perfectly. He is very funny and the audiobook has a lot of personality.

This book was so informative and deeply JVN. I learned so much about them and all of it through the most original and self-loving perspective. Truthful, compassionate, and funny the whole way through

I love JVN and loved this book! I respect so much him sharing his past struggles with such a mass audience, owning all parts of himself, and celebrating his wins. As he mentions the goal of writing this book, I genuinely believe it will help so many young LGBTQ+

challenging dark emotional inspiring reflective slow-paced

JVN does a wonderful job of portraying his life in an upbeat tone, even when dealing with difficult topics. 

Only dropped the rating by one star because his writing imitates that of a straight white cis man writing a teen girl in the early 2010s and it got on my tits a bit
