Publisher's 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.

Authentic Jonathan van Ness

Thought provoking, funny, honest, tear-jerking with a few gymnastics and figurskating metaphores on the side. It is like you are sitting in a coffee shop and he is chewing your ear off for 7 hours staight, but you don’t mind at all.

Finished it in 2 days

I don’t even know where to begin with how in love with this story I am……. After listening to JVN’s first audiobook, I knew that I would enjoy this book but just how much more I am blown away to hear more about their story.

It truly helps you realise and remember that we never honestly know what one person is dealing with. Filled with loads of LOL and teary moments, this is a must-add to your collection!!!

To JVN, while there’s a strong probability you will never read this review, just in case you do
Thank you for sharing your story and your truth; it has honestly warmed my heart in ways you’ll never really know. I see you, and I appreciate everything you are doing and bringing to the world!!!!!!

soap stand

This book is more a soap stand for his political views. some of the issues he raises are so important and the history and politics of marijuana is fascinating. He dedicates a whole chapter to how disappointed he is in JK rowling and I wasn't a fan of that. Famous politicians and comedians have said way worse but this pile on JK seems is ridiculous, the trans community need to direct their anger to people who have said way worse. I preferred his first book but in either jvn is a heck of a story teller and inspiration.

Iconic

This book was INCREDIBLE. So thought provoking and well-written. I didn’t think I could enjoy this more than their first book, but I was wrong. JVN is so articulate and intelligent whilst also having so much charisma and warmth, They are my idol and this book encapsulates why.

Thank you JVN!

Wonderful. What a beautiful, unique piece of writing. Highly recommended. Loved it as an audible book felt like it was a friend in a long conversation, a chat with a peer.
