in Love That Story, a 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

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.
Who gave Jonathan Van Ness permission to be the radiant human he is
today? No one, honey. The truth is, it hasn't always been gorgeous
for this beacon of positivity and joy. Before he stole our hearts
as the grooming and self-care expert on Netflix's hit show Queer
Eye, Jonathan was growing up in a small Midwestern town that didn't
understand why he was so...over the top. From choreographed carpet
figure skating routines to the unavoidable fact that he was Just.
So. Gay., Jonathan was an easy target and endured years of
judgement, 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, and
rambunctious 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 there's much more to him than
meets the Queer Eye. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll come away
knowing that no matter how broken or lost you may be, you're a
Kelly Clarkson song, you're strong, and you've got this.
Jonathan Van Ness, the star of Netflix's hit show Queer Eye, brings
his signature humor and positivity to his empowering first picture
book, inspiring readers of all ages to love being exactly who they
are. Peanut Goes for the Gold is a charming, funny, and heartfelt
picture book that follows the adventures of Peanut, a gender
nonbinary guinea pig who does everything with their own personal
flare. Peanut just has their own unique way of doing things.
Whether it's cartwheeling during basketball practice or cutting
their own hair, this little guinea pig puts their own special twist
on life. So when Peanut decides to be a rhythmic gymnast, they come
up with a routine that they know is absolutely perfect, because it
is absolutely, one hundred percent Peanut. This upbeat and
hilarious picture book, inspired by Jonathan's own childhood guinea
pig, encourages children to not just be themselves-but to boldly
and unapologetically love being themselves. Jonathan Van Ness
brings his signature message of warmth, positivity, and self-love
to this boldly original picture book that celebrates the joys of
being true to yourself and the magic that comes from following your
dreams.
