Ian Harding, best known for his role as Ezra Fitz in the hit TV series “Pretty Little Liars,” is set to release an introspective and deeply personal memoir titled “Odd Birds” on April 4, 2023.

In “Odd Birds,” Harding embarks on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance, recounting his childhood experiences as an “odd bird” who felt like an outsider. Through a series of moving and humorous essays, he explores themes of identity, belonging, and the complexities of human connection.

The memoir also delves into Harding’s experiences in the entertainment industry, shedding light on the pressures of fame and the challenges of navigating the Hollywood spotlight. He candidly shares his struggles with self-doubt and the importance of finding authenticity in an artificial world.

In an exclusive excerpt obtained by People, Harding writes: “I am not a character, I am a human being. I am full of flaws, contradictions, and inconsistencies. I am both strong and vulnerable, confident and insecure. I am a work in progress, just like everyone else.”

With “Odd Birds,” Ian Harding aims to inspire others who have felt like outcasts or misfits. He celebrates the individuality and resilience of those who embrace their uniqueness and refuse to conform.

“Odd Birds” is set to be released on April 4, 2023, and is expected to resonate with a wide audience. As Harding himself states: “I hope that by sharing my story, I can help others feel less alone and remind them that it’s okay to be an odd bird.”
