Review:

I saw this come out and I wanted to check it out because I adore Leslie Jordan. I want to read the other one too!

When Emmy Award-winner Leslie Jordan went viral, he had no idea what that meant or how much his life would change. 

Awwwww Leslie Jordan is a gem! I adore him. His voice. His comedy. And you can tell he has such a sweet soul. I would love to meet him one day!!! 

I am so HAPPY he narrated this because I would've been sad. His voice is such a comfort to me for some reason. It makes me happy and makes me laugh! I loved listening to him share some stories of his childhood and career stories like when he was filming 'The Help'. He shared funny stories, a couple sad stories, and even honest stories about when he suffered from addiction. 

I adored this from beginning to end. I literally didn't want to stop listening! Dang sleep getting in my way........

But yes, I highly recommend this especially if you like Leslie Jordan. I recommend doing the audio since he narrates it. 5 stars of course from me.
