It’s quite surprising to me that, even though I’ve never been interested in memoirs in the past, I’ve read and enjoyed two this week. Tan is my favorite member of the Fab Five and he’s also, apparently, a brilliant writer. Even on the page, he’s personable, fun, and oh, so sassy.

His memoir talks about a number of things, from his childhood and insecurities to his relationship with his husband and landing the role on Queer Eye. Sprinkled in are numerous fashion tips and other bits of snarky advice. On the show he seems to be a very candid person, and that can also be applied to his writing.

Listening to the audiobook was one of the best decisions I’ve made recently. Tan narrates, and I think that made the whole experience even better. It was dramatic at times and consistently entertaining. I struggle, sometimes, to stay focused on audiobooks as I listen, but that was never an issue here.

My two favorite chapters were seventeen and thirty-three. I rarely have a favorite chapter in any book, but in this case, another member of the Fab Five made an appearance—Antoni. I had no idea he would be involved in any way, and in my opinion, that’s one more point in the audiobook’s favor. Tan and Antoni’s banter was definitely one of my favorite parts of the book.

I honestly can’t recall the last time I laughed so much while reading. More than once, I made some sort of weird, indescribable amused sound. Maybe I snorted. I’m not really sure.

So, yeah. I highly recommend Naturally Tan, even if you aren’t super interested in memoirs. I’m not either, but I genuinely enjoyed this. It’s also going to be the first nonfiction book to go on my shelves, as I knew I wanted a physical copy before I’d even finished reading. If Tan writes another book, I’ll definitely read it. I hope he narrates that one too.
