“...I love him, and I respect him, and I need him. We all do.” —from the foreword, written and read by Jamie Lee Curtis

If you would have told a young John Stamos flipping burgers at his dad’s fast-food joint that one day he’d be a household name and that, at the height of his success, he’d be living alone, divorced, with no kids, high on a cocktail of forgetting, he might’ve asked, “You want fries with that?”

John burst onto the scene in General Hospital, propelling him into the teen idol stratosphere, a place that’s often a point of no return. But Stamos beat the odds and over the past four decades has proved himself to be one of his generation’s most successful and beloved actors. Whether showing off his comedic chops on Full House or his dramatic skills on ER, pushing the boundaries on Broadway or living out his youthful dreams as an honorary Beach Boy, John has surprised everyone, most of all himself.

A universal story about friendship, love, loss, and the courage to embrace love once more, John Stamos’s memoir is filled with some of the most memorable names in Hollywood, both old and new. Funny, deeply poignant, and brutally honest, If You Would Have Told Me is a portrait of a boy who went from believing in Disney magic to a man who learns that we have to create our own magical moments in life.

Thank you John for stepping up!

Gosh! I’m a distant long time admiring fan (saw you, liked you, but didn’t know much about you). Thank you for sharing your journey thus far. I really appreciated listening and getting to know a lot more about you. Well done! Thanks for being “a hummingbird” to so many already. Best wishes always, Stephanie

Loved it

Great, honest, funny and entertaining. About to listen again for the bits I may have missed. I highly recommend this book.

Loved this book.

Finished it in 2 days! Great job Uncle Jessie. Still the coolest guy around. Feel like I’m even a bigger fan now.

And thank you too Jamie Lee Curtis

Just an amazing book could listen even a second time. Thank you both for what you’ve shared. I’m sorry I didn’t include in my first review. What a lovely mom too John!

Very impressed

I have to say, John truly wrote a masterpiece. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but I truly enjoyed his story. I love the humor, the lessons learned, his journey, and of course his final message to Bob and the world. I had many laughs and many tears.
