Don't Be a Drag by Skye Quinlan

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

 I had a really good time with this! This had some good discussion of mental health, community, and diverse drag. There was a bit of the tension that felt a bit forced and some of it played out a bit unrealistic. But honestly, I didn't mind much while I was reading. It was very YA stylistically* and those parts weren't outside the realm of what is expected for that. It also includes a lot of pop culture references, which can be an issue for some readers but I tend to like a good reference and I enjoyed how most of them were incorperated. Over all, I really liked it! 

*that's not a negative, just sort of descriptive of the writing style. I quite like this style when I'm in the mood for it. It's earnest in a way that adult lit rarely is... but I digress.
