3.5 stars but rounded down because it was good but it wasn’t my absolute favorite of this sub genre.

The drag queen origin story I didn’t know I needed. An exploration of race, sexuality, and growing into who you’re meant to be. So tender and touching. So good.

I read this in a single three-hour sitting. Simply no words to describe how funny, emotional and powerful this book is. How do I give it more than 5 stars? Favourite read in a very, very long time.

This book is such a beautiful story that touches on issues that desperately need to be heard, especially in these times.
I can't wait to read more from Dean Atta!
