Binge by Tyler Oakley is an autobiography that is funny, sad, serious, and overall a good book. It is about Tyler’s past and it has childhood memories of when he was not living in LA and was a famous youtuber. Tyler Oakley’s book is about how he came out to his parents and the world, how they received it and many other things that happened in his life. He named the book Binge because he wants you to binge on the good things in your life and not dwell on the bad things. He talks about his eating disorders when he was little because of low body confidence. He talks about his family issues with his parents splitting up and his issues with his dad. Although he talks about these bad things in his life it helped him shape who he is today and the book makes you laugh and cry and smile. He tells funny stories and scandalous things he has done in the past. The book mostly focuses on his childhood and his high school and college career but he does talk a little about the beginning of his career on youtube. He talks about previous boyfriends and how he dealt with some of the bad ones and the good ones. He shows the people that read his book that he isn’t perfect but he tries to put out the best Tyler Oakley he can to help other people that have gone through some of the stuff he’s gone through less lonely and tell them that things will be okay. He made the book to show people who he really was and you can definitely tell it is him writing it. It’s his personality and no one else's. It’s like he’s writing to a friend and the book makes you feel like you’ve known him your whole life. Tyler wanted to let the people know that he is not some stuck up famous youtuber that gets whatever they want and never went through hardships. Throughout the book it shows you how much work and effort he’s put into his life to be where he is know. He still struggles with body image but he is much better now. The book shows us what his life really was like. It feels like a youtube video he put on his channel but he had too much too say so he wrote it all down and made it into a book. The only thing I did not like about Binge is the fact that he jumped around in the timeline of his life. One chapter could be about something that happened in college and the next could be what happened when he was five. Overall though this book is really good. It makes you feel so many emotions and they are always put in a good spot. It isn’t like you are sad for four chapters straight. Your emotions flow with the chapters in a way that makes it so good. Binge isn’t a boring biography it can relate to almost everyone that reads it because it isn’t just about sexuality and coming out it is about so much more and there is probably at least one thing that you can relate yourself too.
