Over the Top by Jonathan Van Ness (Hardcover, 2019)

SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER\n'Over The Top [is] a lightning bolt - devastating and stirring ... generous and frank.' The Observer\nWho gave Jonathan Van Ness permission to be the radiant human he is today? No one, honey.\nThe truth is, it hasn't always been gorgeous for this beacon of positivity and joy.\nBefore he stole our hearts as the grooming and self-care expert on Netflix's hit show Queer Eye, Jonathan was growing up in a small Midwestern town that didn't understand why he was so...over the top. From choreographed carpet figure skating routines to the unavoidable fact that he was Just. So. Gay., Jonathan was an easy target and endured years of judgement, ridicule and trauma - yet none of it crushed his uniquely effervescent spirit.\nOver the Top uncovers the pain and passion it took to end up becoming the model of self-love and acceptance that Jonathan is today. In this revelatory, raw, and rambunctious memoir, Jonathan shares never-before-told secrets and reveals sides of himself.
