Fall wig first into a world of big hair, high heels and even higher stakes in George Lester's debut novel Boy Queen.Life's a drag until you try . . . Robin Cooper's life is falling apart. While his friends prepare to head off to University, Robin is looking at a pile of rejection letters from drama schools up and down the country, and facing a future without the people he loves the most. Everything seems like it's ending, and Robin is scrabbling to find his feet.Unsure about what to do next and whether he has the talent to follow his dreams, he and his best friends go and drown their sorrows at a local drag show, where Robin realizes there might be a different, more sequinned path for him . . .With a mother who won't stop talking, a boyfriend who won't acknowledge him and a best friend who is dying to cover him in glitter make up, there's only one thing for Robin to do: bring it to the runway.
What can I say to round up this absolute joy of a book. First of all, it is the only book in a long time that I literally couldn't put down. I started it before dinner and finished it in bed. I told George myself that I would kill to be able to send Boy Queen to my younger self - it certainly would have allowed me to release my inner queerness, my inner queen. It is the perfect read for everyone who needs help to find their fierce, true self, but might feel bogged down with the world around them * Lit Life London *
George Lester is a freelance editor, musical theatre lover and drag nerd who lives with his wonderful partner in Twickenham. He semi-regularly posts videos online talking about books and writing mostly. He is also a Drag Queen under the name That Gurrrl.
