I struggle writing reviews with memoirs. It’s hard for me to judge someone personal’s experiences. However, I felt like Rupaul’s House of Hidden Meaning was very personal. On Rupaul’s Drag Race episode Booked and Blessed - the queens had to come up with their own books. Which was a great way for Rupaul to plug his own memoir. He did mention that to be successful- you have to be vulnerable and reveal a side of yourself that not everyone is familiar with. I think he nailed it was this book. This memoir read like a diary- he talked about a lot hard, heavy topics that he faced. That isn’t easy for to share- I definitely do like that I have deeper understanding of him besides what I see and of him on TV.

This memoir is him pre-fame. His story, growing up and finding himself in the south.

The only negative I had with this book was keeping up with all the people that Rupaul names. Yes, he writes over a time span over several years but I get lost after so many people are constantly getting introduced.
