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

4.0

From now on, I'm going to listen to all memoirs on audiobook - it makes the experience that much more personal. JVN's story is incredibly inspiring and I'm really impressed that he was willing to share the painful details of his personal life in order to reduce stigma and help others. I can't believe he went through so much trauma, pain, grief and loss and came out such an upbeat and positive person. Obviously, he's not like that ALL the time (everyone has highs and lows), but I just think it's amazing that he can dance around his kitchen making coffee every morning on his Instagram stories and motivate and inspire so many people. I love his message that beauty starts on the inside, taking care of and loving yourself.
