You might enjoy this book if you're looking for a fun and heartfelt story about self-discovery and chasing dreams.

If you appreciate diverse characters and uplifting narratives, this could be a great read for you.

This book takes us on a road trip with an insecure high school senior who has one goal: to be the first in his family to leave Clearwater, Florida, and go to college.nbsp; The problem is, he has zero means of paying for school - until his friends convince him to compete in a drag teen competition for a college scholarship.

Description

When life's a drag, you've gotta drag it up.

JT feels like his life's hit a dead end. It looks like he'll always be stuck in Florida. His parents are anti-supportive. And his boyfriend, Seth, seems to be moving toward a bright future a long way from home.

Scholarship money is nonexistent. After-school work will only get JT so far. There's only one shot for him — to become the next Miss Drag Teen in New York City.

The problem with that? Well, the only other time JT tried drag (at a school talent show), he was booed off the stage. And it's not exactly an easy drive from Florida to New York. But JT isn't going to give up.

He, Seth, and their friend Heather are going to drag race up north so JT can capture the crown, no matter how many feisty foes he has to face. Because when your future is on the line, you have to be in it to win it, one fraught and fabulous step at a time.
