challenging dark emotional funny hopeful medium-paced

5.0

This was heartwrenching in places but such a wonderful insight into the life and trials of Alan cumming. He talks openly and honestly about subjects that are far too often swept under the rug - hopefully this book will inspire more people to talk openly and seek help if needed.

Fascinating. And I greatly enjoyed Alan Cumming’s reading of the audiobook. What a chaotic and often dreadful upbringing. And what an incredible parallel between his own life and that of his grandfather.
