eazybreezy92's review against another edition
July's "Lavender Book Club" book
I actually do not know this person and read this book for book club. Tom Rasmussen's memoir told in a diary format about their experience being queer and coming into their drag queen persona. The themes of this book centered around having a chosen queer family, the appreciation and relationship growth between them and their parents post coming out, questionable actions, raunchy and random sex, and just the overall unhingeness of living a life as a young, queer non-binary drag queen just trying to figure it out. Very camp, very gay, and very entertaining.

Slayed it. What a queen.
The audiobook all the way for this! Very educational, Informative and down right hilarious. Literally spat my juice out at some points.

The book is mainly told through Tom's perspective, and Crystal really takes a backseat. Less of a discovery of their drag queen identity and more a general reflection on life as a queer person. Really eye opening, emotional, and funny - but way too long. The book had lots of "almost endings" where it felt complete.
Pretty graphic/sexual, but in a humorous way. Don't read if you're uncomfortable with sex talk, kinks, and bodily fluids (all of them).

This book was a wild ride from start to finish. I laughed, I cried, I squirmed. I really appreciated the author’s candid approach to drag artistry and the awareness they brought to both the good and the bad of the drag community. Fair warning: this book does not shy away from the topic of sex in all forms. So if you are sensitive to sexual content, maybe steer clear.
