If You Would Have Told Me

New York Times Bestseller

â...I love him, and I respect him, and I need him. We all do.â
â"from the foreword by Jamie Lee Curtis

If you would have told a young John Stamos flipping burgers at his dadâs fast-food joint that one day heâd be a household name and that, at the height of his success, heâd be living alone, divorced, with no kids, high on a cocktail of forgetting, he mightâve asked, âYou want fries with that?â

John burst onto the scene in General Hospital, propelling him into the teen idol stratosphere, a place thatâs 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 generationâs 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 Stamosâs 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.
