Short, sweet, and straight to the point.
The section about self-reliance resonated quite a bit with me. I think I would have really adored this book so much more when it was initially released.
I really enjoyed this read (it was like a nice hug). I definitely can see how people would be disappointed with this if they were expecting a full-fledged autobiography... but as someone who just wanted a little bit of insight on RuPaul's life and philosophies to help me feel more confident/brave and continue seeking security in my femininity, I really loved this. Definitely a light read - there was only a paragraph or two per 2 pages. The wisdom varied from fashion and makeup to work ethic, finding your voice, developing confidence, and more. I would definitely peruse this again in moments of despair - wish it was a little longer because I enjoyed it a lot.
I mean this is just a compilation of Ru's tweets in fancy font paired with VERY glam photos of RuPaul in drag, which isn't to say that I didn't like it. Also, RuPaul 100% believes in The Secret and tbh it seems to have worked for him.
