Beautiful on the Outside

I laughed. I cried. I nearly wet myself.

I knew the book would be funny and entertaining, but it far exceeded my expectations. Adam is a true storyteller, and I’m thrilled he’s now sharing THIS gift with us. (Seriously, is there anything he can’t do?)

He doesn’t hold back or sugarcoat anything, and it doesn’t seem like there’s really anything off limits as he tells us about his life in skating and, well, his life thus far. I learned quite a bit about what it’s like to be an elite skater, what it’s like to work towards the Olympics and everything that goes into it, and a bit about what it’s like to be Adam Rippon.

He’s brutally honest, self-deprecating, and a masterful storyteller that had me reading the book from cover to cover in one day.

If you’re a fan of Adam, a fan of figure skating, a fan of athletes, and/or just want a good laugh, pick up this book. You won’t regret it! (i own the hardcover, kindle ebook, and audiobook and it’s worth every penny).

This was even better than I expected it to be…funny, charming, introspective, and brutally honest at times, it captures his “voice” perfectly. He talks about being gay in the book, but his story is so much more than than that, and inspirational not just for gay people or figure skating fans, but for anyone who has had to face daunting obstacles and tried to find their own way in the world no matter what.

Some of the stories are known from interviews and articles, but there’s a lot of new material here for fans of Adam — and maybe even non-fans, because this book might help them understand why we love him so much.

I didnt know a whole lot about Adam but I knew he had a fun and sassy personality and sure enough it came across in this book. I was literally laughing out loud within seconds. Even his acknowledgments at the end were funny. And although I am a huge figure skating fan, I didnt know a ton about him personally so I was happy to learn more and I am always happy to get any kind of behind the scenes look at what goes on in a figure skating champions life

Great book, package was properly protected. If you order from Amazon you know sometimes they don’t package well. This time they did an excellent job. Great read!
Adam is an amazing person with an interesting perspective on life.

I really did not know what to expect but I really enjoyed this book. There are many lessons to learn from this book, hard work pays off, be who you truly are, take chances, etc. What is also evident is that this is a caring young man with what I find to be a hilarious sense of humor.
