Summary

Queer Eye star Jonathan Van Ness dives into his favourite subjects in Love That Story, a new collection of heartfelt and entertaining essays.

From experiencing heartbreaking grief to uncovering the hidden LGBTQ history of his hometown, Quincy, from overcoming body image issues and living with HIV to cultivating his personal style, JVN speaks out a wide range of topics with heart, honesty and flair.

He not only shares his personal experiences, but with the help of conversations with experts, he also offers captivating perspectives on the wide number of issues we are dealing with today: the current nature of race issues in the US, the rise of white supremacy, transphobia and imposter syndrome.

Love That Story is not just the story of JVN but the story we are writing together.

JVN Forever ❤️

I didn't know I needed JVN's second book until I needed it. They had me laughing, crying and educated me to be a better person. I also love myself alittle more x

Important message

I learned so much from this. Whatever your background, we should all read/listen to this book. Thank you JVN for opening my eyes.

The Queer Eye Queen

I'd only started watching series one of queer eye, and read about 2 reviews and I knew this was the next book on my self education as a non-binary individual and part of the Alphabet mafia.

I'd recently finished Billy Porters Unprotected, and before that The Transgender Issue by Shon Faye...I love audiobooks that actually have the author read and this was so wonderfully put together, funny and educational a must read 📚

Love JVN but wasn’t a huge fan of this book

It felt kind of empty, as if jvn wanted to make another book and just fumbled around trying to find something to fill it

Like having the BEST catch up with an old friend

Absolutely loved this. I mostly listened while walking my pooch … laughing and crying and generally feeling thankful the world has JVN. Love you ❤️

I can’t put into words how much I loved this, but I’ll try

I can’t begin to describe how much respect I have for JVN and their ability to share such difficult personal traumas as well as talk so openly and concisely about critical subjects. This heart wrenching, provoking, uplifting story was genuinely a joy to listen to and I don’t think I’ll ever stop talking about each chapter and important topic addressed.

Read “Over the Top” instead

I was really excited to listen to Love That Story because I enjoyed Over the Top so much. I am a bit disappointed with JVN’s latest offering - these essays are very well-written but just not as touching or as personal. Narration was good but again, not a patch on the first book.
