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

5.0

I really enjoyed this book. The honesty, the pureness and the love.

It's been fascinating reading about JVN's life And learning about what he has been though. How he coped during life, how he turned into the amazing person he is today.

I love that he wasn't afraid to show his struggles, his weaknesses, his love for life and most importantly his love for helping others.

The book is also a bit of a self help book and had some resources if websites and numbers in the back to help you if you need any assistance with mental health, drugs and alcoholism etc which is amazing! The book also has some great things to remember and to make you feel better within yourself. My favourite was when you open the book it says "Imperfection is beautiful, To anyone who has ever felt broken beyond repair, this is for you. If you've ever been excluded, or told you were not enough, know that you are enough, and beautifully complete."

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I know I will be reading it again and again and again.
