Review of Binge by Tyler Oakley

Status: read and loved.
Rating: 5 stars.

Well hello everybody welcome to the Tyler Oakley fan club!

Tyler Oakley, Queen of the Internet, has slayed anew. His book Binge was an experience. The book felt like talking to a best friend at a sleepover, all the secrets, all the sassy, even a few magazine quizzes to boot!


Tyler was more open than I thought he would be. The first few chapters in particular went in depth into Tyler's early years and eating disorder. That chapter and his coming out story really affected me. It is difficult seeing someone so ordinarily happy and vibrant dim a little without them knowing. Nevertheless, it made Tyler the person he is, just as the fights he had with his dad strengthened their relationship.

What is a Tyler Oakley book anything though without a bit of sass and shade. His Beyonce-for-the-day musings were insightful. The amazing revenge story for a boy pretending that Tyler and he were dating (not to mention the amazing photos of Tyler dancing with said boy's mum, knowing full well that she would beg the boy to marry Tyler in future). He is here to live his life and doesn't care if you like it! (But you probably will because he is hilarious.)


If you need a pick-me-up or want to lose yourself in the fandom please pick up this book! Indulge a little ;) 


Favourite quote:

I’m not into boys who give nonconsensual kisses. Sure, he had good intentions, but, like, don’t kiss me in my sleep. It’s a simple ground rule. You don’t know if those ladies wanted that. Maybe they were having a good dream. Maybe they were dreaming about Darren Criss. You don’t know what you just interrupted. Rude.
