This book was okay, but wasn’t my favourite memoir. Karamo talked about a lot of trauma and adversity like drug use, parenting, domestic abuse, abusive relationships, racism, and homophobia, as well as touching on experiences on TV in shows such as Queer Eye. He talked about lot about how he approaches challenges and what leads to his positivity in life. I feel like some of the things he spoke about are maybe a bit more nuanced than he was discussing. I appreciate his opinions and how he approaches these things in his own life, but felt sometimes it was portrayed as his way being the “correct” way, or like there wasn’t much attention given to other perspectives/nuances. (For example - language people use for themselves, names we go by, religious trauma and experiences. Some of what he was saying felt like toxic positivity, and I get he was trying to portray that a negative experience may not be representative of an entire system, but it felt like he was minimizing people’s experiences and feelings. He was also talking a lot about being a therapist while… not being one?) I know this is his memoir so that’s not really required, but worth mentioning. Overall, this was a decent memoir. If you like Karamo on Queer Eye, I’d recommend reading it.
