I am Not Myself These Days by Josh Kilmer-Purcell
5.0

I put this book on my "To Read" list at least a year ago, but didn't remember why when I started going down the list to find the books at my local library. I think not knowing what I was getting into (other than I'd been interested in it at some point) was the right course of action. Kilmer-Purcell tells his own story, and that of Aqua, with a great deal of honesty, without being self-pitying or apologetic. This is a book about drag queens, yes, but also about growing up, taking chances, and realizing that loving someone doesn't mean they're the right someone for you.
