Fantastic memoir, it was great learning more about RuPaul outside of Drag Race and who he is behind the drag persona (I don’t think he even mentions RPDR once in this book, if I remember correctly?). Hearing him talk about the struggles he faced with addiction, homelessness, dysfunctional family and relationships, all while finding ways to keep his magic alive was beautiful. His tenacity for not only survival but also success is incredible. I do wish this book had been longer so it could have had the space the dig deeper, especially given the heavy subjects that are discussed. That’s the one thing I felt was missing, just that little bit of extra emotional connection
