My Name's Yours, What's Alaska?: A Memoir by Alaska Thunderfuck 5000

4.0

I'm a huge Alaska fan and I enjoy not only her work in drag but the empathy and open-mindedness she brings to her Q&A sections of her podcast. This book was a slam dunk: I got to learn about Justin before Alaska and the windy path that led her to compete on RuPaul's Drag Race. The book is cotton candy: written for quick, enjoyable consumption rather than to reflect on greater life lessons learned from early experiences/traumas. And I needed that right about now.
