Luke tells his underdog story, in this colorful, chaotic autobiography. He comes up with all sorts of wild plans and schemes to get rich & meets chaos or tragedy at just about every turn. I enjoyed reading a book from a queer author. Seeing representation in media is so important. And Luke tells his story of how he would fail, but get right back up again & on to the next new chapter in his life.

Hadn't gotten around to reading this yet, and I'm most definitely never going to now.
I, like everybody else who requested this book, received an email from the publisher disclosing the use of generative AI in the writing of this book.
I don't care if AI is only used as a spellchecker or whatever, there is absolutely no excuse for using AI in the process of writing a book.
As a bookseller, I am wholeheartedly against the use of AI in the book industry.
Do better.
