Today, Gigi Gorgeous is beloved for her critically-acclaimed documentary, her outrageous sense of humor, her no-holds-barred honesty, and her glam Hollywood lifestyle. Ten years ago, she was a gawky Canadian teen named Gregory. In He Said, She Said, Gigi brings us on her personal journey from Gregory to Gigi, going deeper than ever before and exposing her vulnerability behind each struggle and triumph, with her signature humor on every page.
 
With stunning photography and heirloom snapshots, He Said, She Said takes us back to Gigi’s early years as an Olympic-bound diver and high school mean girl, losing her mom at a tragically young age, and her journey of opening up about her sexuality and gender identity. She walks us through her transition, baring it all about dating and heartbreak in her stories of falling in love with both men and women.
 
Uproarious, unconventional, and unabashedly candid, Gigi shares never-before-heard stories, inspiration, and advice about how your life can take you to incredible places once you get real with yourself.
“Walking readers through career moves, surgeries, and navigating a love life while still getting to know her own evolving self and sexuality, Gorgeous writes with an open heart and empathy for her past selves (and, spoiler, a happy ending). With fun and glamorous photos, Gorgeous' memoir is an upbeat, affirming, and thoroughly modern tale of becoming oneself.” —Booklist

“Gigi exemplifies gorgeous in so many ways and on so many levels. From this book you will get a sense of how gorgeous she is inside and out.” —Caitlyn Jenner, New York Times bestselling author of the The Secrets of My Life

"I've followed Gigi since the beginning, and have always admired her humor, kindness, strength, and honesty—but I only knew the tip of the iceberg. In He Said, She Said, Gigi shows what it means to be a queer icon, and keeps you laughing along the way." —Tyler Oakley, New York Times bestselling author of Binge 

"Gigi Gorgeous is not just an inspiration, she’s the funniest person I’ve ever met and the best storyteller on the internet. A conversation with Gigi is filled with laughter, tears, and continuous gasps of shock. This book is no different." —Shane Dawson, New York Times bestselling author of It Gets Worse and I Hate Myselfie

"Delightful, entertaining, and surprisingly heartfelt—much like Gigi herself." —Hannah Hart, New York Times bestselling author of My Drunk Kitchen and Buffering
