A great story with fascinating characters, and lots of twists and turns. It's a fast read with sharp dialogue and satire - finding humor and empathy in situations with dysfunctional families, gay and transgender characters, drag queens, ambitious politicians, and TV chat show hosts. I promise it will be some of the highest quality writing you'll find online. I want to hear you LAUGHING and make you CARE for all the characters - even when they do some things that might shock you. \u003cstrong\u003eCareful, there are a few sexy scenes that might get your heart racing but they'll really help you get inside the characters' heads.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a short book. At 75,000 words it's around 320 pages, but it's a fast read because the action keeps moving and the dialogue is sharp. \u003cstrong\u003eBy the time you get to the happy but perverse ending I'm sure you'll be very satisfied.\u003c\/strong\u003e So, I hope you take this journey with me.
