Book Reviews of The Memoirs of a Beautiful Boy
Book Review: "The only great thing about heartbreak..."
Summary: 5 Stars
"...is that it gives you a funny story to tell later on."
This book is long on charm and filled with fizzy delight. Leleux has a wicked gift for storytelling, and he turns his minor childhood tragedies into glorious comedic melodrama. His descriptions of his superb mother are laugh-out-loud funny, but the real heart of the story, for me, was his very kind and stabilizing relationship with his husband Michael. I want to read more from Leleux: his mordant humor, quick timing, and complete avoidance of cliche make his work incredibly enjoyable.
