It's strange to read about the life of someone shortly after they pass and learn so much about them that you didn't know before. I'm happy that I was able to learn more about Leslie Jordan, as I did not know much about him or his life. This book has some great reminders about authenticity, kindness, and loving the life you've been given. I enjoyed Leslie sharing stories about his southern upbringing and much more. It sounds weird, but I love the way he talked! He was so hilarious, humble and had a heart of gold. This book seemed scattered and the stories were not arranged in an order that I understood. I also found myself uninterested in some of the stories and realized I wasn't paying attention. Overall, if you loved Leslie Jordan, you'll love this book-- especially the audiobook with his narration :)
