I am currently reading Tommy's Tale by Alan Cumming. I found this book because it is written by one of my favorite actors/performers Alan Cumming. I love this book because it is written in the first person and you get this very strange relationship with Tommy the main character by the end of the book. I read this book as well as listened to the audio book on Audible.
