Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love by Jonathan Van Ness

4.0

"No matter how ugly everything had gotten, I was still convinced I could find a way to make it gorgeous."

3.5⭐

I adore JVN, and I was so excited when I heard about this book. Jonathan puts his heart into sharing his story, and it was an entertaining read. I had a difficult time with the format at times, and I think I will do better trying the audiobook one day (I'm on a very long hold list at the library). I had a hard time with the first half of this book since I don't really know anything about gymnastics, but once it got into the older years, I was fully invested. I admire Jonathan's boldness and willingness to share. I enjoyed getting to know him more through this book.
