About this audiobook
For someone who made a career out of over-sharing on the Internet, Tyler has a shocking number of personal mishaps and shenanigans to reveal in his first book: experiencing a legitimate rage blackout in a Cheesecake Factory; negotiating a tense standoff with a White House official; crashing a car in front of his entire high school, in an Arby’s uniform; projectile vomiting while bartering with a grandmother; and so much more. In Binge, Tyler delivers his best untold, hilariously side-splitting moments with the trademark flair that made him a star.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I didn't know anything about Tyler Oakley, but now I do. As a fellow queer person it was great to hear different parts to his life and how he dealt with them. Also he's a lot younger than me and I also like to hear stories of people of different ages. It's always a bonus when audio books are narrated by the author, it adds a lot of character to the stories. I enjoyed this a lot and I hope that he writes more memoirs as he ages. Thanks for sharing Tyler.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Tyler is my queen and this book proves it. I cried, I laughed and I'm now a professional fan girl of this amazing human.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Tyler is honest funny and inspiring. This book goes beyond his internet persona and digs deep into the Matthew behind the Tyler. It is so genuine and gives me hope.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely loved this book. I was late to the party! I was resistant to Tyler Oakley for a long time for no good reason. I think maybe I had to get more comfortable in my own skin. This book really spoke to me and I want to focus on living my damn life! @hellobk
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book made my commute to work a lot more fun. I really love Tyler's personality and how open and honest he is in this book. I would have never guessed that someone who is so cool and confident would ever have the experiences that he's had. He's now so much more relatable and I'm now a bigger fan. He does ask you to review and add your twitter handle so here's mine: @ OhSnapItsJenni
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So good. I finished it in a day. Thank you so much Tyler Oakley for sharing your experiences with us

absolutely loved this. I left it feeling like I know so much more about tyler as a person. I laughed so hard throughout. I definitely had a ton of fun while listening, and can't wait to hear more if tyler ever publishes another book - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely fell in love with this book after the first chapter. Tyler is such a talented guy, and this book did nothing but blow me away.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the most raw, comedic, heart throbbing, openly gut wrenching and just plain enjoyable. If you know Tyler Oakley, you’ll love the book!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5nonfiction/memoir (internet celebrity). I did not know who Tyler was before seeing him and Korey on Amazing Race, but happily discovered his book on a list of notable 2015 memoirs (which I just finished after only two sittings--not an all-night binge but pretty close). Tyler, if you ever read this, I hope you find your work-life balance (if that's not too cliché) and best of luck to you.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I've never watched a single Tyler Oakley video. I don't know anything about him, other then he's from YouTube, he's gay and he's very popular.
I really liked this book. I read it in a day and I couldn't put it down. I stayed up late to finish it. It's very funny and I enjoy the photos. I really like reading books about peoples lives. I love autobiographies and memoirs. I'm always drawn to them. There are a lot of other 'YouTube' books out there I want to read, and they're all by people I've never watched before.
Anyway, this was entertaining. A quick funny read. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I am going to be the first one on here to review Binge by Tyler Oakley! Slay me!I must admit, I quite enjoyed Mr. Oakley's collection of life stories! Most of the time he used his wit and humor that he is famous for, to show us glimpses into his life that we haven't heard too much about on his YouTube channel.. But the best parts, in my opinion, were when he really let down his gaurd and showed us areas that weren't so funny. He allowed us to learn about his first love and loss, physical abuse he went through, and insecurities over his career and future among others. It was in these very vulnerable chapters that I found the true value of his memoir! I will say I was rather shocked with how often he mentions his sexual exploits! I was not expecting such a vivid look into his sex life! But again, he was honest and open and I found it refreshing. He didn't shy away from admitting that he is a sexual being, regardless of his celebrity. (Side note, I hope to one day see him pop up on my grinder!)Tyler did not seem to worry about what he should or should not say, and instead gave us an honest and open look deeper into his life! It was funny at times, it was gross at times, it was kinky at times, it was sad at times, and it was excellent the entire time!
