Jonathan Van Ness is such a gem! I adore their work, both on screen and in print. So far, they've written two books that really showcase their vibrant personality and heartfelt wisdom. The first one, 'Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love,' came out in 2019 and is this beautiful memoir that mixes humor, vulnerability, and their signature sparkle. Then in 2021, they released 'Peanut Goes for the Gold,' a children's book that’s just as delightful—it’s about a nonbinary guinea pig who follows their dreams, and it’s honestly the cutest thing ever.
What I love about their writing is how effortlessly they balance depth with joy. 'Over the Top' dives into some heavy topics, like addiction and self-acceptance, but it’s also packed with laugh-out-loud moments. And 'Peanut'? Pure, uplifting magic. I’d love to see them write more—maybe a self-care guide or even a fiction novel next. Their voice is so unique, and both books feel like cozy chats with a friend who just gets you.
