I wasn't familiar with Rocero before her book, and it works well without prior knowledge of the author. She tells her whole life story, with a lot of focus on her professional experience (beauty pagents, modeling, and activism), but there is a lot of focus on her time as a stealth model, and the mental and emotional duress she experiences by staying in the closet. There are absolutely moments of joy and I love how she spends time talking about her friendships (and later in the book her most important relationships). She also does an excellent job reading the audiobook, and I liked the moments where there were sound effects (primarily camera shutters).

Yes some of this was giving liberal girlboss but I forgive it because she goes in about colonialism and religion too lmao and that comes with the territory like not every trans auntie can be a revolutionary communist.
Overall I found this book so inspiring and badass yet warm and comforting. I cherished reading every word. Highly recommend no matter what you're in the mood for or your typical reading preferences.
