I really enjoyed this book. I went in as a fan of RuPaul, though admittedly not knowing much about him. There was so much about his life that I never knew, and the lessons he learned along the way were really insightful. The book does suffer a bit in how much unnecessary details are provided. Obviously, this is a memoir and life does not flow in an easy to follow or simple path. However, I often got overwhelmed by the sheer amount of names and places dropped, only to never be brought up again. All in all, I really enjoyed the book and felt that the closing two chapters were really, really strong. Recommend this to anyone interested in RuPaul or the club scene of the 80s-90s in general. Inspiring read.
