JT is just your average teenage boy in Clearwater, Florida. His parents own and run his grandfather’s gas station, and their biggest dream for him is to take auto mechanics, and open a repair shop behind the station.

JT’s fascination is drag queens. He even tried it once at the high school talent show. Let’s just say his classmates were not ready for his performance. JT’s biggest dream is to go to college. But in order to do so, he needs a scholarship. And as someone bad at math, he knows they will be few and far between. Which is why he lets his boyfriend Seth talk him into entering the Miss Drag Teen pageant in New York. It will be a road trip including the two of them, and JT’s best friend Heather over spring break.

I checked out this audiobook because the cover caught my eye on Hoopla. That glaring Pink and yellow. I was not expecting much because the author is better known for this Youtube channel, then for writing. Even the Goodreads description makes it more about the author’s star than the characters.

However I was greatly surprised. I thoroughly enjoyed this listen, and did it in one day. There are many points where things are just fantastical, but I actually wanted them. I wanted a happy ending for the insecure drag queen wannabe. I wanted to listen to him grow and flourish. And if he name drops a little how cares. The thing about this book is some real celebrity names are used, and some are made up, but perfectly describe celebrities we all know and love. That just adds to the enjoyment of this listen. Is it great literature? No. Is it a fun story that I think you might enjoy? Heck yes. A fun listen for a hot summer day.
