Cody's Reviews > Boys Keep Swinging: A Memoir

Highly addictive and emotional read. I've admired Jake Shears since I discovered Scissor Sisters when I was coming out in college. The band helped me to understand that being queer in this world is not only okay, but that it is something to truly celebrate and embody with pride. Shears writes about his life with humor, brutal honesty, and moving insight - I'll admit that I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of his writing. Knowing the stories behind his songwriting has given me a deeper and more nuanced appreciation of his musical catalogue.
