This is very much written in Alaska's voice, which I really enjoyed but if you aren't already a fan (or if you come in expecting more traditional writing style), it could be off-putting. I'm not sure I would have been as into it if I wasn't already interested in her to begin with. There are definitely technical critiques I could give or details I could say that I wanted, but at the end of it, I did read most of it in a sitting and had a fun time doing it, which is why it ended up with a higher rating. I would mainly recommend this to folks who are already interested in Alaska or popular drag queens more broadly.
Other notable CWs are for slurs including the f-slur used in full and a couple that are mentioned but not typed in full as well as racism. In particular, she talks about Sharon Needles' racist depictions in drag and use of the n-word.

I do wish that the pictures more closely matched the time period that were being referenced in the book at that time.
Overall, would recommend to anyone who is a fun of drag!

Alaska really goes into detail in regards to life, her journey in drag, to drag race, and her relationship with Sharon. I loved seeing the intimate details of her life. It made me love her even more! The pictures in the book were great. I loved seeing the way her drag transformed. She's had some rough points in her personal life, but definitely came out on top!
The only reason this didn't get 5 stars was because the beginning was a little hard for me to get into. After about 25% or so I couldn't put it down. Definitely recommend to any Alaska or Drag Queen fans!
