First of all...snaps for an amazing book title - GENIUS.
I want to be honest - after reading this book I stopped reading altogether...because I had so many back episodes of Queer Eye to finish - I decided that binge watching all of the seasons of the new Queer Eye Reboot on Netflix was my top priority! Tan France is an accomplished entrepreneur in the fashion and textiles industry. This book details his deep love and 10 year marriage with his husband Rob (swoon - what a great partnership) as well as his career successes and challenges through the years with his fashion lines that include Kingdom & State, as well as a modest swimwear line Shade...among other ventures. He was just preparing for retirement when the Queer Eye casting call came. Tan writes frankly about his upbringing as a Muslim (raised in England...thus the amazing accent), bullies, his culture's preference for lighter skin colors, and of course...his insights on lifestyle choices and FASHION. Tan is clearly an expert in his field and doesn't try to compete for screen time on the show because when he has input to offer, he wants it to be meaningful and not necessarily silly or outlandish. He is very dedicated to helping people look their best and put their best foot forward...and I enjoyed this book! I am a real fan of audiobooks when it comes to memoirs so I am definitely pre-ordering Naturally Tan the audiobook for the June 4, 2019 release date! Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
