Beautiful book about identity, belonging, and intersectionality told in verse by a biracial, gay, British mc.

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.
