A really great book! I'm normally not very into poetry, but I really got into this book. Drag is a world I don't have a lot of familiarity with so it was great getting to peer into the scene via this book. I felt so proud of Mike by the end of the book, and it really left me smiling.

I read this as a part of Book Riot's Read Harder prompt and I'm glad I did. It's a bit out of my usual comfort zone for books, but I all-around enjoyed the book!
