I wanted to read this because I have always loved watching drag.

I‘m often surprised at memoirs that are able to make alcohol and drug addiction seem like normal, ok, day to day life. I‘m so thankful that my life isn‘t like that.

All the same, I really enjoyed Aqua, Josh, and Jack‘s story. It‘s wild and weird and kind of a train wreck. I raise a glass to Aqua and her fish. It‘s only water, but cheers girl!

I just love this book cover! @CoffeeNBooks I started this at the hair salon last night and I‘m really liking it! I‘m not familiar with Josh‘s performance life, but I‘ll definitely be looking for him in videos when I finish this up! Thanks again my friend!

britt_brooke I‘ve never watched his videos, but I liked this book and a couple of his others

Soubhiville @britt_brooke @CoffeeNBooks I‘ve stacked both of those, thanks! 5y

CoffeeNBooks Lol, so my brain was thinking faster than my hands were typing- I also read the *fiction book he wrote, Candy Everybody Wants. Then I read The Bucolic Plague, which I loved. I have a couple of the Beekman cookbooks, and I even went back and watched season 21 of The Amazing Race that he and Brent are on. š‚ 5y

Megabooks This is a great book! I still may reread it this month. š‘¨š¸»šˇ‰š 5y

Memoir by Josh Kilmer-Purcell, relaying his younger years in NYC as an advertising executive by day and as the drag queen known as Aquadisiac by night. It also chronicles his at times sweetly romantic yet at other times completely complicated and dysfunctional relationship with Jack, a male escort.

Now I'm going to have to rewatch the 2012 season of Amazing Race, because he and his husband were contestants that season. š›«

Wife If you haven‘t already watched The Fabulous Beekman Boys series, you need to put it on your list to watch. Really enjoyed it! š¹ 5y

CoffeeNBooks @Wife I haven't watched it, but I definitely want to now! 5y

Harper, thank you so much for the housewarming book! This cover is really fun. I‘m very much looking forward to reading it š’.

CoffeeNBooks

CoffeeNBooks Yay! I'm so glad it got there- and a day early, too! I was looking at books on your TBR list to see what I should send, and this cover jumped out at me. It sounded interesting, so I bought a cooy for myself, too. š‚ 6y

Soubhiville Awesome, I hope you‘ll enjoy it too! 6y

Awk_Word_Smith I read this years ago when it was first released in paperback. It was on a B&N sale table. Such an incredible story. Loved it. I still have it on my bookshelf. I should re-read it soon! 6y

This was a really different book. It was very well written and the story was unique. It was a love story in the most strange way and it made me uncomfortable and intrigued and I wanted more. It was a real story with no fluff, but hard to put down. I definitely recommend this

britt_brooke Loved this book! 8y
