âOver The Top [is] a lightning bolt â devastating and stirring ⊠generous and frank.â The Observer
Who gave Jonathan Van Ness permission to be the radiant human he is today? No one, honey.
The truth is, it hasnât always been gorgeous for this beacon of positivity and joy.
Before he stole our hearts as the grooming and self-care expert on Netflixâs hit show Queer Eye, Jonathan was growing up in a small Midwestern town that didnât understand why he was soâŠover the top. From choreographed carpet figure skating routines to the unavoidable fact that he wasjust so gay, Jonathan was an easy target and endured years ofjudgement, ridicule and trauma - yet none of it crushed his uniquely effervescent spirit.
Over the Top uncovers the pain and passion it took to end up becoming the model of self-love and acceptance that Jonathan is today. In this revelatory, raw, andrambunctious memoir, Jonathan shares never-before-told secrets and reveals sides of himself that the public has never seen. JVN fans may think they know the man behind the stiletto heels, the crop tops, and the iconic sayings, but thereâs much more to him than meets the (queer) eye.
Youâll laugh, youâll cry, and youâll come away knowing that no matter how broken or lost you may be, youâre a Kelly Clarkson song, youâre strong, and youâve got this.
