Binge

By Tyler Oakley

For someone who made a career out of over-sharing on the internet, Tyler Oakley has a shocking number of personal mishaps and shenanigans to reveal in his first book: he experienced a legitimate rage blackout in a Cheesecake Factory; he had a fashion stand-off with the White House secret service; he crashed a car in front of his entire high school in his fast food restaurant server's uniform; he projectile vomited while bartering with a grandmother.

With millions of fans clamouring for more Tyler Oakley, he delivers his best untold, hilariously side-splitting moments with trademark flair in Binge.

I am going to be the first one on here to review Binge by Tyler Oakley! Slay me!I must admit, I quite enjoyed Mr. Oakley's collection of life stories! Most of the time he used his wit and humor that he is famous for, to show us glimpses into his life that we haven't heard too much about on his YouTube channel.. But the best parts, in my opinion, were when he really let down his gaurd and showed us areas that weren't so funny. He allowed us to learn about his first love and loss, physical abuse he went through, and insecurities over his career and future among others. It was in these very vulnerable chapters that I found the true value of his memoir! I will say I was rather shocked with how often he mentions his sexual exploits! I was not expecting such a vivid look into his sex life! But again, he was honest and open and I found it refreshing. He didn't shy away from admitting that he is a sexual being, regardless of his celebrity. (Side note, I hope to one day see him pop up on my grinder!)Tyler did not seem to worry about what he should or should not say, and instead gave us an honest and open look deeper into his life! It was funny at times, it was gross at times, it was kinky at times, it was sad at times, and it was excellent the entire time!

nonfiction/memoir (internet celebrity). I did not know who Tyler was before seeing him and Korey on Amazing Race, but happily discovered his book on a list of notable 2015 memoirs (which I just finished after only two sittings--not an all-night binge but pretty close). Tyler, if you ever read this, I hope you find your work-life balance (if that's not too cliché) and best of luck to you.

I've never watched a single Tyler Oakley video. I don't know anything about him, other then he's from YouTube, he's gay and he's very popular.

I really liked this book. I read it in a day and I couldn't put it down. I stayed up late to finish it. It's very funny and I enjoy the photos. I really like reading books about peoples lives. I love autobiographies and memoirs. I'm always drawn to them. There are a lot of other 'YouTube' books out there I want to read, and they're all by people I've never watched before. 

Anyway, this was entertaining. A quick funny read.
