The House of Hidden Meanings
by RuPaul
adventurous
emotional
hopeful
informative

lighthearted
reflective
medium-paced
i loved the title of this book and the description of how rupaul came to title it that. i enjoyed getting a glimpse into how he grew up, his rise to fame, & his relationships with love & family & getting sober. at times, it feels a bit out of touch with saying other people of color just play the victim when there’s very real systemic racism and societal racism.
at other times i wished he delved deeper and gave certain stories more space to develop. a lot of times you’d get a chunk, it’d be vulnerable & then he’d just move on. but i do appreciate what we were given.
selfishly, i wanted more about rupaul in drag, the evolution of her. but overall still a great memoir. just need a bit more finesse. love rupaul though for the good and meh. and i love the many catch phrases.
