4.0

Jonathan Van Ness bares his soul in Over the Top. He is honest and vulnerable about the heartbreaking and heartwarming moments that brought him to where he is today. I got an audiobook copy and thoroughly enjoyed JVN’s narration. There is quite a bit of trauma explored in this book - sexual abuse, addiction, self harm, anxiety, HIV/AIDS, bullying, etc. - but JVN exemplifies the necessity of self worth, self love, and a supportive community that have helped him rebuild. Highly recommend.
