What if instead of a glamorous actress and a geeky bookshop owner meeting cute in Notting Hill, an earnest but closeted superhero actor met a goofball bit-of-a-mess drag queen? What if it had the closed door (well, door ajar) style of Boyfriend Material, screwball comedy vibes, and unapologetically celebrated queerness of all flavors? You'd read it right? Well, I'd certainly read it. This was absolutely adorable. The narrator brought it to life beautifully, and I enjoyed every minute.
