This book..you guys. 

When I tell you that this is probably one of the best, if not THE best autobiography's/memoirs that I've probably ever read, I am not lying, joking, or exaggerating. Also, extra stars for the audio version where you get to hear sweet Leslie tell the story himself. And knowing now that he's gone..ugh! My heart!! Just so bittersweet! 

Leslie was just an incredible and unforgettable person and this book reminds me why. Going back to his early life, Leslie talks about being raised in the South, in religion, and how it shaped his life as he moved into adulthood. He talks briefly about his struggle with addiction and coming out. He talks about what it's like to have a family that may or may not agree with your lifestyle and the choices you make. He talks about roles that he held over the years and even admits to when there were times when he wasn't fit for a role and gracefully had to bow out. 

You'll learn about some of his idols, some of the folks he's worked with - Lily Tomlin, Vicki Lawrence, and Lady Gaga..I mean come on! You'll learn about how he stood up to some homophobes at a Starbucks in LA one time. Gosh, I just love him so much.

Do yourself a favor and LISTEN to this book. You won't regret it! 

RIP Leslie Jordan!
