When you have this much personality, there's a fear lurking just below the surface: if you knew all of me, you wouldn't love me anymore. You would no longer want me as your new best friend.

Jonathan Van Ness

Introduction

Jonathan Van Ness is known for serving up Jesus-chic realness with a side of self-love as the stylist on the hit Netflix show Queer Eye.

But before he was Jonathan Van Ness, the world-famous body positive and gender nonconforming queer TV personality, he was just Jack from Quincy, Illinois.

As an insecure midwestern kid who suffered sexual abuse, Jack was a far cry from the iconic JVN that audiences know and love today.

In this book, Van Ness gives fans an up-close look into his dark past, which includes his parents' divorce, sexual abuse, multiple addictions, and an HIV diagnosis.

Over the Top is full of lessons in self-love, and a call for change for the LGBTQIA+ community.
