I really am not sure how to write this review. My first season of drag race was seven where Trixie and Katya were introduced to the world at large. I was a #JusticeForTrixie stan and at that time I think I probably thought Katya was robbed on the top 5 lipsync (my feelings have definitely since changed but I think a Katya, Kennedy, and Violet top three would’ve been much more interesting but I digress).
Since season 7 my love for Trixie turned into like, and now I can appreciate her but she just doesn’t do much for me these days. Katya fares a little better but even then it isn’t by much. I watch Uhnnnn or however it’s spelled but it rarely makes me laugh anymore because the humor is just kinda esoteric or the same five jokes that have been ran into the ground for 4 years at this point (which is a critique I have of this book. The “welcome to the stage..” joke hasn’t been funny in years).
I’m always going to happy for queer peoples’ success (except Jefferee Star since he’s a huge bigot) and I will always support drag entertainers but if I’m being honest I just did not get any enjoyment out of this book. I’m happy for those that did/do, but this just doesn’t really resonate with me. I don’t think the humor translates well at all on the page because it’s virtually impossible to read tone and inflection in written form and the timing is just hard to nail because we all read differently. Idk if that makes any sense.
In closing, the 13 year old twitter tweens who love Trixie and Katya and ship them together and want them to fuck them with a rake while they call them mom (or whatever is in vogue nowadays, that was more circa 2014/5 stan behavior now I think it’s all about apologizing for some bullshit someone took offense to, idk) will get their lives with this book. But I’m not one of those people, so it’s just gonna be a no from me dawg.

The reader seems vaguely amused by what is happening before them, and I'm okay with that.
Have to get this as an audiobook. Absolutely hilarious

I love T&K and am a HUGE fan of Unnhhhhhhh.
This book was not the business. I'll stick the web series.
