Author: Josh Sabarra
Sabarra throws open the proverbial closet—and bedroom—doors, taking readers on a Hollywood thrill-ride through growing up, coming out, coming-of-age, and, finally, finding himself at 40. The shame and contempt that grew from his sexuality locked him in a prison of self-hate that robbed him of an emotional and sexual identity for more than three decades. Movie studio jobs led to friendships and relationships with some of the industry’s most notable characters, but those intimacies created a false sense of acceptance and approval, requiring that he continue to up the stakes—celebrity lovers, online dating, sexual fetishists, and porn stars-for-hire. Poignant, heartbreaking, glamorous, sexy, and hilariously honest. Self-published (joshsabbarra.com). —Troy Carrington
