A pleasantly light and fluffy memoir. I listened to the audiobook, read (and occasionally sung) with enormous theatrical gusto by the man himself, which added a lot to it. I can see why some reviewers might feel that Ball's a bit full of himself, but to me, in audio especially, he comes across as funny and likeable. His occasional “the show must go on” attitude towards mental health is a bit old-fashioned, to put it charitably, but he's mostly a fun guy. As the title suggests, the book leans heavily on the recent Aspects of Love revival as a through-line, which was amusing but didn't totally win me over, as there are other, more substantial projects I would've preferred to hear more about.
