| This was a fascinating novel. Kind of a coming-of-age thing. We follow this girl as she progresses through crush, lust, desperation, self-hatred, strength, weakness, acceptance, and probably a few other emotional states that I'm forgetting. Not a hug ...more | |

| This book was good fun. I've never watched that RuPaul show (Drag Races, I think it's called?), so I didn't go into this knowing much about about drag competitions, but this book taught me a lot. The main characters Fangula and Pridezilla were well-d ...more | |
