Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Naturally Tan written and read by Tan France. 

In this heartfelt, funny, touching memoir, Tan France, star of Netflix’s Emmy award-winning Queer Eye, tells his origin story for the first time. With his trademark wit, humour and radical compassion, Tan reveals what it was like to grow up gay in a traditional South Asian family, as one of the few people of colour in South Yorkshire. He illuminates his winding journey of coming of age, finding his voice (and style!) and happily marrying the love of his life - a Mormon cowboy from Salt Lake City. 

Humorous and poignant personal essays are peppered with style advice, funny lists and the truisms that Tan has accumulated in his journey from South Yorkshire to Netflix. 

In Tan's own words, 'The book is meant to spread joy, personal acceptance and most of all understanding. Each of us is living our own private journey, and the more we know about each other, the healthier and happier the world will be.'

I finished this book very quickly, however I won't be reading it again. I felt it lacked a certain depth which would have been more interesting, in my opinion, then the fashion hot takes that felt out of place in a memoir. It felt like a book only written after being approached with a book deal, as opposed to a story which needed to be told in this way. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't great either.

I was hoping for more

unfortunately I was not gone on this book, felt a bit sad for Tan as he seems to be still carrying a bit of bitterness about people who were mean/aggressive to him in his childhood/youth, it's not that he should not have the right to feel that but I would have though that as he has a global platform he would have tried to send fans a message that you grow above that bitterness instead of allowing it to stay there and get a kick out of little things like not replying to fb message from someone who was a total bee years ago . .
