I adore Karamo, and I absolutely love his work on Queer Eye, so I really wanted to like this book more than I did.

It's not the best written book, but that's okay since it isn't written by a professional (at publication) author. 

What bothered me was that it felt like it had been heavily edited and censored by a PR person. 

When Karamo talks about his mistakes on QE he comes across as genuine and authentic and he takes responsibility for his past choices but in the book it seems there is always an external reason for his choices which makes it feel like he doesn't accept responsibility.

The book feels like a pre-emptive effort to put out all of his 'dirty secrets' so that they couldn't be found out and spilled by tabloids or similar first.

There is definitely enough of Karamo in this book that you can see and recognize him within the text as the same person we see on QE but it wasn't the open, honest, authentic book I had expected it to be.
