Years ago Rex packed up Regina's things and never performed drag again. Now, as he tries to help an ex revitalize an iconic gay bar- he may need Regina's help one last time. But as he gets back into performing and feels that familiar rush, he wonders if he can give it up again. Faced with the choice of disappointing his father, his ex, or himself, Rex must choose who's acceptance is most important to him- theirs or his own? Brimming with heart, queer joy, and family, Lim has created a story that beautifully captures the queer community. This story feels like that moment when you look around the table and realize you've found family that loves and accepts you.

This was a heartfelt love letter to drag queen culture, a second chance romance, and a messy queer coming out story that has Filipino American Rex Araneta trying to help his college sweetheart, Aaron, save his drag karaoke bar by taking his secret, internet famous drag persona, Regina Moon Dee, into the light of day only to find himself having to hide his alter ego from his father and falling for a new man along the way.

I loved the messy but relatable family drama in this book that was FANTASTIC on audio narrated by RuPaul's Drag race runner up, Manila Luzon, a famous Filipino American drag queen whose voice lends an extra authenticity to this story.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio and digital copy in exchange for my honest review! This book is perfect for fans of the tv show and anyone who enjoys authors like Alexis Hall or books like Dragged to the wedding by Andrew Grey.
