emotional funny medium-paced

3.5

I really mixed feelings about this one.
The author is clearly racist and ableist and does little to hide. However a very big theme this memoir is that he is not a good person. It's a very raw retelling of his time moving to New York to perform as a drag queen. The story is heavily centered around an abusive relationship with an escort. The author does NOT sugarcoat the experiences or his own involvement with drug use, club culture, hookup culture, escort culture and the bad things be did in them.

Don’t remember what possessed me to get this audiobook, but I wish I’d listened to is years ago because it felt a bit old hat to me now. Kilmer-Purcell’s story is certainly detailed and specific, but here was perhaps a tone here that didn’t work for me. A little needy in its attempt to be outrageous. Do appreciate the frankness, though.
