My Name's Yours, What's Alaska?: A Memoir by Alaska Thunderfuck 5000
3.0
I enjoyed Alaska as a competitor on Ru Paul's Drag Race. Watching her win All Stars was quite a journey to behold. I was curious to read her Memoir to get a behind the scene look at what Drag Race is really like. I felt Alaska gave a good description of how she worked to qualify for the show as well as some first hand experience of being a cast member.
I felt this was a 3.5 star book because I honestly wanted more detail. Alaska was good at talking about wild nights partying with the other queens, but I would have liked even more of a back story on how she developed Alaska. If you are a fan of drag race this is a worthwhile read, if you haven't seen the show the book might leave you with too many unanswered questions.
Thank you Chronicle books and Edelweiss for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
