‘It is a memoir that is by turns shocking, poignant, fantastically egotistical and often wise. Each sentence is recognisably in RuPauls’s voice – arch, funny given to epigrammatic pronouncements – distilling the cadences and assorted pop culture references that have come to characterise his TV persona. Consistently entertaining’ Observer
