David Archuleta, the man that you are! I was so excited to get this audiobook from my library after waiting 6 weeks. He narrates it himself and his voice is comforting to listen to. I’ve enjoyed his songs, followed him on TikTok a while back, and have enjoyed seeing his personal growth in coming out and being true to himself.
David delves into his childhood, growing up in a Mormon family, becoming a singer, and being discovered for his talent on various shows. I felt very nurturing listening to his story because I just wanted to protect him from his father and everyone else who took advantage of him. It was frustrating to hear his struggles and to know how much he experienced. It was interesting to see his various relationships evolve and how he tried so hard to stay in the church, despite not finding support for LGBTQ believers.
Overall, this was a tough listen but David did a great job sharing his story with the world, and I’m proud he did it (thanks for the push, Jeanette McCurdy). The three new songs at the end were a nice touch and they had good messaging that were inspired by his journey.
