Twelve Days of Christmas - Overshare: Love, Laughs, Sexuality and Secrets by Rose Ellen Dix and Rosie Spaughton



Today I am really pleased to be taking part in Compulsive Reader's 12 Days of Christmas Blog Tour. My stop on the tour is to promote 'Overshare' by Rose and Rosie.

Overshare: Love, Laughs, Sexuality and Secrets (Hardback)
Love, laughs, sexuality and secrets from LGBT superstar YouTube couple, Rose and Rosie.

Rose and Rosie are known for their candid and hilarious YouTube videos... but now they are taking oversharing to a whole new level. Discussing sexuality, revealing secrets and empowering others, Overshare is a book packed with Rose and Rosie's unique take on friendships, fame, mental health and LGBT issues.
As visibly out members of the LGBT community, they open up about their own experiences, both together and as individuals, and have written this book in the hope that it gives strength to those who have faced similar difficulties.
They are spreading a message of positivity and inclusivity, and want everyone to feel comfortable in their own skin, no matter what their sexuality.
Delve deep into the unfiltered highs and lows of Rose and Rosie's life: family relationships, secrets of a happy marriage, struggles with OCD and anxiety, finding love and navigating the world as a gay couple. Get ready to laugh, cry, cringe and Overshare.
Publisher: Orion Publishing Co 
ISBN: 9781409176411 

Overshare is one of those reads that I wasn't sure what to expect but I am so glad that I picked it up and read it! I saw lots of publicity around its launch and was really interested to see what it was all about.

I must admit I had never heard of Rose and Rosie before seeing this book but now I have been googling and watching their YouTube channel and have since seen that they are just as fabulous on screen as they are in print!

Overshare made me laugh, cry and also think more about how the world around us judge people and their relationships. It made me angry in places when Rose and Rosie talked about their childhood, their teenage years and the prejudices that they were faced with along the way. 

The book is a great read and it gives hope to all who are growing up unsure of their sexuality by letting them know there is someone for everyone and also support for all.

Thank you to Trapeze Books and Tracey Fenton, Compulsive Books, for inviting me to take part in the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Tour and for a copy of the book in return for an honest review.
