About this audiobook

“A brutally honest memoir that socks you in the gut with its candor” (Elton John and David Furnish) about lust, abuse, addiction, stardom, and redemption from Arrow and Teen Wolf actor Colton Haynes.

In 2018, Colton Haynes woke up in a hospital. He’d had two seizures, lost vision in one eye, almost ruptured a kidney, and been put on an involuntary psychiatric hold. Not yet thirty, he knew he had to take stock of his life and make some serious changes if he wanted to see his next birthday.

As he worked towards sobriety, Haynes allowed himself to become vulnerable for the first time and discovered profound self-awareness. He had millions of social media followers who constantly told him they loved him. But what would they think if they knew his true story? If they knew where he came from and the things he had done?

Now, Colton bravely pulls back the curtain on his life and career, revealing the incredible highs and devastating lows. From his unorthodox childhood in a small Kansas town, to coming to terms with his sexuality, he keeps nothing back.

By sixteen, he had been signed by the world’s top modeling agency and his face appeared on billboards. But he was still a broke, lonely, confused teenager, surrounded by people telling him he could be a star as long as he never let anyone see his true self. As Colton’s career in television took off, the stress of wearing so many masks and trying to please so many different people turned his use of drugs and alcohol into full-blown addiction.

“In searing, honest prose, he tells a coming-of-age story that is utterly his own, yet surprisingly universal” (Bill Clegg, New York Times bestselling author)—of dreams deferred and dreams fulfilled; of a family torn apart and rebuilt; and of a man stepping into the light as no one but himself.

Editor's Note

Gripping memoir…

The star of “Teen Wolf” and “Arrow” bares all in his gripping memoir about addiction, body image, LGBTQ+ issues, and the dark side of Hollywood. Raw and hard to read at times, Hayne’s rocky road to health offers hope to anyone who’s dealt with mental illness or experienced childhood abuse. A moving portrait of confronting personal demons.

    This was a good listen and kept me interested. There are disturbing and sad situations. This isn’t a feel good book. If you enjoy dramatic themes and adult situations in your audiobooks, you’ll love this one.

    Well-written, touching, and suprising. I was not familiar with Colton Haynes before reading, but it didn't hamper my reading experience.

    Amazing, honesty, beautifully written! My favorite this year 2022. I think this book should become a classic that captures a life evolving to be whole! This book should be in the canon of post modern LGBTQ+ biography literature. Thank you Colton for capturing your early life and wish you the best as you continue to nurture yourself and others in the next chapters of your life!

    Very interesting look at the industry of modeling and acting with youth. If this story is even fractionally true its scary. Being poor and pretty without good solid guidance and attention can be traumatizing.
