Description:

From the Fab Five—the beloved hosts of Netflix’s viral hit Queer Eye—comes a book that is at once a behind-the-scenes exclusive, a practical guide to living and celebrating your best life, and a symbol of hope.

Feeling your best is about far more than deciding what color to paint your accent wall or how to apply nightly moisturizer. It’s also about creating a life that’s well-rounded, filled with humor and understanding—and most importantly, that suits you. At a cultural moment when we are all craving people to admire, Queer Eye offers hope and acceptance. After you get to know the Fab Five, together they will guide you through five practical chapters that go beyond their designated areas of expertise (food & wine, fashion, grooming, home decor, and culture), touching on topics like wellness, entertaining, and defining your personal brand, and complete with bite-sized Hip Tips for your everyday quandaries. Above all else, Queer Eye aims to help you create a happy and healthy life, rooted in self-love and authenticity.

My View:

The Fab Five deliver their inspiring, inclusive, positive outlook with a few tips and tricks to have you feeling good inside and out. I am a big fan of this show; it surprises me, it is sometimes hard hitting, addressing such issues of racism and the epidemic of loneliness and poor self-image that seems to have swept over our planet, other times it shines the light on contemporary social issues, sometimes it is light-hearted and makes me smile. Never is it boring, always poignant and ultimately, fun. The book is written with these trade mark characteristics; there is a good dose of honesty and personal information shared that explains how the individuals arrived at this point in their lives (on the tv series).  Then the individuals in the team – and it is definitely a team, share a little of their expertise whilst all the time reminding us we are great, we can do whatever we make up our minds to do, and that we are “already fantastic, honey. You just need a little help to become your best self.”

A most enjoyable and positive read. Share this book with someone you love.
