In this heartfelt, funny, touching memoir, Tan France, star of Netflix’s smash-hit QUEER EYE, tells his origin story for the first time. With his trademark wit, humor, and radical compassion, Tan reveals what it was like to grow up gay in a traditional Muslim family, as one of the few people of color in Doncaster, England. He illuminates his winding journey of coming of age, finding his voice (and style!), and how he finally came out to his family at the age of 34, revealing that he was happily married to the love of his life–a Mormon cowboy from Salt Lake City.
In Tan’s own words, “The book is meant to spread joy, personal acceptance, and most of all understanding. Each of us is living our own private journey, and the more we know about each other, the healthier and happier the world will be.”
– Goodreads
I loved this memoir. I love Tan France. I love Queer Eye. SO MUCH LOVE. I really liked hearing about Tan’s life when he was growing up. It showed a great perspective. I loved hearing how he built himself from the ground up and how his business and brand evolved. I especially liked the parts about Queer Eye. The hiring process, behind the scenes, the Emmys, everything. It was great. There’s also life lessons and notes on style and how to style yourself. Which I may or may not need. Also as a plus – Antoni appears in the audio! Pick this book up if you love queer eye, style, memoirs, or just need a pick me up. Listening to this book made me so happy! |
Until next time…
