This book crisscrosses the United States like a cross-dressing On The Road. Pathos, wisdom and humor collide to enlighten the reader- I just could not put it down'

'It is a memoir that is by turns shocking, poignant, fantastically egotistical and often wise. Each sentence is recognisably in RuPauls's voice - arch, funny given to epigrammatic pronouncements - distilling the cadences and assorted pop culture references that have come to characterise his TV persona. Consistently entertaining'
