Rex's joyful and pain-filled history makes you desperate to root for him and Regina Moon Dee in his present day hidden identity romance. He just wants his one-that-got-away ex to fall back in love with him, and if that means hiding his formerly internet famous drag queen persona and saving the gay karaoke bar Aaron works at he's going to do whatever it takes. I was bewitched by the hidden identity antics and the past/present storylines that let us get to know Rex and his family. 

Of course there is a romance element between Rex and the KJ Paolo that I absolutely adored!! Paolo sees Rex for he is and love him for it. I want 1 million more drag queen romances. Paolo is willing to do anything Rex needs and it's so refreshing to see a book that's a love letter to drag culture. Obviously, I had such a fun and emotional time reading Karaoke Queen. I will be checking out Dominic Lim's previous work. 

Read this if you like falling in love with who you are, a community of people coming together to save important parts of queer history, drag queens, and someone who wants to see every part of you inside and out.
