Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love
Before he stole viewers hearts as the grooming and self-care expert on Netflix’s hit show Queer Eye, Jonathan Van Ness was growing up in a small Midwestern town that didn’t understand why he was so over the top . . .
Uncovering the pain and passion it took to become the model of self-love and acceptance that we associate with Jonathan Van Ness today, Over the Top is a revelatory, raw, and rambunctious memoir that shares never-before-told secrets and reveals sides of himself that the public has never seen.
"There is plenty to laugh at in the ways Queer Eye’s grooming expert frames his story, but it’s the battles he’s waged against the darker corners of his soul to become the bright light we know today that provide the necessary context for this book to shine." -- The New York Times
