I can't know what the future will hold. What I do know is that we all have the ability to effect change within ourselves and outwardly. We can reach out to one another and find ways to move the needle on success and love. Remember that growth starts at the root. I have to admit, after watching the first season of Queer Eye , I did not understand Karamo's role. I understood it later, but this book explains his role as cultural expert really good. I've rated Tan's memoir [b: Naturally Tan|40174034|Naturally Tan|Tan France|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1539878448l/40174034._SX50_.jpg|62323838] one star and Jonathan's [b: Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love|41824023|Over the Top A Raw Journey to Self-Love|Jonathan Van Ness|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1564864774l/41824023._SX50_.jpg|65274850] two stars. Since I enjoyed Karamo's book more, he even receives three stars. By this rate, Bobby will write a book that's worth four stars! But let's get to the point: Karamo's book is a very quick read, since the font is quite large and there are many pictures. His tone is very chatty, which was quite pleasant to read. However, I did not like the structure of this book at all. He often mentions his kids and says "I will get to that later" and then his chapter on fatherhood is one of the last ones! He could have gotten to the point of that earlier. Instead of a chronological order, he separates such as abuse, drugs, church, fatherhood, Queer Eye, etc. which makes sense! But his constant "we'll talk about this later!"annoyed me a little bit. Apart from that, it was - surprisingly - the best memoir of any Queer Eye member. I liked Karamo's insights but it was lacking some structure.
