Publisher's summary
From the Fab Five - the beloved hosts of Netflix's viral hit Queer Eye - comes an audiobook that is at once a behind-the-scenes exclusive, a practical guide to living and celebrating your best life, and a symbol of hope.
Feeling your best is about far more than deciding what color to paint your accent wall or how to apply nightly moisturizer. It's also about creating a life that's well-rounded, filled with humor and understanding - and most importantly, that suits you. At a cultural moment when we are all craving people to admire, Queer Eye offers hope and acceptance.
After you get to know the Fab Five, together they will guide you through five practical chapters that go beyond their designated areas of expertise (food and wine, fashion, grooming, home decor, and culture), touching on topics like wellness, entertaining, and defining your personal brand, and complete with bite-sized Hip Tips for your everyday quandaries. Above all else, Queer Eye aims to help you create a happy and healthy life, rooted in self-love and authenticity.
Read by the Fab Five: Antoni Porowski, Tan France, Jonathan Van Ness, Bobby Berk, and Karamo Brown.
Includes a bonus PDF of recipes from the book.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

An insightful, candid, and inspiring memoir from Karamo Brown - Queer Eye’s beloved culture expert - as he shares his story for the first time, exploring how the challenges in his own life have allowed him to forever transform the lives of those in need. When Karamo Brown first auditioned for the casting directors of Netflix’s Queer Eye, he knew he wouldn’t win the role of culture expert by discussing art and theater. Instead, he decided to redefine what “culture” could - and should - mean for the show. He took a risk and declared, “I am culture.”

There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with listeners, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

Tom Felton’s adolescence was anything but ordinary. His early rise to fame in beloved films like The Borrowers catapulted him into the limelight, but nothing could prepare him for what was to come after he landed the iconic role of the Draco Malfoy, the bleached blonde villain of the Harry Potter movies. For the next ten years, he was at the center of a huge pop culture phenomenon and yet, in between filming, he would go back to being a normal teenager trying to fit into a normal school. Speaking with great candor and his signature humor, Tom shares his experience.

How are you supposed to tell someone that they're not meeting expectations without crushing their spirit? Regular feedback, when delivered skillfully, can turn average performers into the hardest workers and stars into superstars. Yet many see it as an awkward chore: Recent studies have revealed 37 percent of managers dread giving feedback, and 65 percent of employees wish their managers gave more feedback. This trail-blazing new model eliminates the guesswork.

Out of Line describes Lynch's remarkable process of self-invention, including her encounters with colorful characters of the food world, and vividly evokes the magic of creation in the kitchen. It is also a love letter to South Boston and its vanishing culture, governed by Irish Catholic mothers and its own code of honor. Through her story, Lynch explores how the past - both what we strive to escape from and what we remain true to - can strengthen and expand who we are.

Story
American food is the story of mash-ups. Immigrants arrive, cultures collide, and out of the push-pull come exciting new dishes and flavors. But for Edward Lee, who, like Anthony Bourdain or Gabrielle Hamilton, is as much a writer as he is a chef, that first surprising bite is just the beginning. What about the people behind the food? What about the traditions, the innovations, the memories? A natural-born storyteller, Lee decided to hit the road and spent two years uncovering fascinating narratives from every corner of the country.

The Bocuse d'Or is the real-life Top Chef, a biannual cooking competition in France featuring teams from 24 countries vying for the top honors. Named after Paul Bocuse, one of the greatest, most influential living chefs, the Bocuse d'Or has become the most sophisticated and closely watched cook-off in the world. Ironically, though American cuisine now rates among the best in the world, a U.S. team has never placed among the top three in the competition.

Story
Number-one New York Times best-selling author Laurie Notaro isn't exactly a domestic goddess - unless that means she fully embraces her genetic hoarding predisposition, sneaks peeks at her husband's daily journal, or has made a list of the people she wants on her Apocalypse Survival team (her husband's not on it). Notaro chronicles her chronic misfortune in the domestic arts, including cooking, cleaning, and putting on Spanx while sweaty (which should technically qualify as an Olympic sport).

A Great Choice
This book is gorgeous from start to finish! My favorite part is that each of the Fab 5 reads his own section. It really leveled up the experience of "reading" this awesome book.

Bringing some new flare and heart!
Intro: I won't lie with reality shows it can be kind of hard sometimes for me to get into them. For some reason they always seem extreme to me either exemplifying attitudes or competitiveness for people. I've never been one for that heavy drama. I'm a fight or flight person and usually conflict makes me want to run like a rabbit away. But when Queer Eye came out (the original and the new), I found there was a better side to it. Where the cause was basically the idea of improving, but also keeping the person's individuality. Basically as they had written to bring out the "best versions of themselves" and understanding that we're all living beings, caring and compassionate in the end.
In the new version it really is much more about the heart of the show and understanding the people, both of the heroes and the Fab 5's backgrounds. I can say some parts that were dealing in the self care and various arts went by quite so quickly, and I feel now that I might have to actually get the physical book for further review. I really do enjoy though getting some glimpses into the Fab 5's lives and hearing their cool hip tips.
*FYI: Every 1 of them was able to categorize a cologne scent that suits them best. I found this rather relatable and a tad funny, because for this Aquarius I am constantly a chameleon with changing my aromatherapy (perfume oils) out all the time. A lot of them being from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, which often have an extensive scent note directory, have playful storytelling spins to theirs (BPAL); along with their own philanthropic endeavor scents. Speaking of which they had a disaster relief and food bank scent fundraiser for Texas not long ago that made me think of Queer Eye Season 6's "Gimme Shelter" episode.
My current smellies top 10:
1. Twilight Alchemy's Temple of the Trickster
2. BPAL's Bluebeard
3. BPAL's Lurid
4. BPAL's Morocco
5. BPAL's Bluebonnet Single Note
6. BPAL's The Small Brown Cat
7. Arcana's Madame Lapin
8. Posset's Mrs. Rabbit's Carrot Cake
9. Posset's Lady with a Baby Unicorn
10. Zoologist's Bat
Sorry, my olfactories took me off on some tangents. But much as Antoni can go into the great detail with flavor profiles and the pallets my nose tends to do that to me too. I'll also be taking Jonathan's advice and getting some lemongrass hair oil, not only because it's a bright, lovely, and an energetic scent; but also my sensitive scalp may appreciate that. I likely will have to give a slightly revised review once I get the physical book; but these are just my general thoughts so far upon the audio listen.

Loved the content, hated the interlude tunes
If you love their show, then you’ll love this book. However, I disliked the constant intro and outro interlude music between chapters and characters. Only reason I didn’t give it all 5 stars.

Stage in Life
I was tempted to put a 4 star rating instead but I paused and thought more about why I wanted to. Theres a lot of good advice in here and it will be useful just for me thats a someday. I'm in a place that I want to move on from and have barely enough money for taco bell so maybe I can't use all the styling advice right now, but in a tear or two maybe I will and I won't forget I have this book to look back on. Though I might consider buying a physical copy by then so it's easier to reference a particular spot. I only disagreed with like one piece of advice, that belts should be style choice because your pants should fit and hold themselves. I've gotten some pretty good hugging jeans over the years and even have a tailored suit, never have I trusted my butt to be enough to hold them up haha. Still though I enjoyed it all and learning about them and im excited to review the recipes and the cooking section in an immediate future rather than the future of my tomorrow.
