Critics Review

So good and moving. Great advice about marriage, faith and jeans

So good and moving. Great advice about marriage, faith and jeans * Zadie Smith *Frank and courageous … blazes with light and honesty * The i *One of the few books I’ve read and thought “I get that”. Honest, joyful and relatable * Nadiya Hussain *Who hasn’t tried the French tuck? Peppered with fashion dos and don’t s, the memoir of arguably Doncaster’s most famous TV export is a must for any Queer Eye fan. * Evening Standard *Tan’s book is moving, insightful, and hilare. Any bad stories about me are totally untrue, but the rest is brilliant. Best book of the millennium! * Jonathan Van Ness *Just when I thought I knew everything about Tan, he hits me with this. His story is so heartwarming, and wickedly funny. * Antoni Porowski *It’s full of everything you’d hope to read from Netflix’s most popular fashion expert – styling tips, tongue-in-cheek quips and a candid, conversational dive into his personal life … It’s hard to imagine how readers wouldn’t be touched by at least one of the many stories Tan tells * Refinery29 *A breezy and refreshingly candid look at the man behind the patterned shirts … a genuinely fascinating life story * Irish Times *Naturally Tan is a joy … he doesn’t shy away from topics of homophobia, racism and mental health, and how they’ve touched his life and influenced his decisions. Laugh-out-loud funny, sometimes blunt and always honest, reading Naturally Tan is like hanging out with Tan himself … [it will] inspire anyone wondering how to make their voice heard in a world that doesn’t always want to listen. * The Skinny *
