A beautiful and honest memoir about JVN, largely before fame. Their journey through abuse, substance use, homophobia, and the continuing impacts of trauma was well written and narrated, didn’t shy away from the hard times, and was supplemented by things they learned from professionals.
Jonathan’s personality and sense of humor is easy to love but I greatly appreciated the way they those to use their platform to also advocate for trauma care, recovery, destigmatizing HIV/AIDS, and learning to accept, love, and prioritize yourself even when it’s hard.
