Kings queens and in-betweens
Boteju, Tanya
Perpetually awkward Nima Kumara-Clark is bored with her insular community of Bridgeton
in love with her straight girlfriend
and trying to move past her mother's unexpected departure. After a bewildering encounter at a local festival
Nima finds herself suddenly immersed in the drag scene on the other side of town. Macho drag kings
magical queens
new love interests
and surprising allies propel Nima both painfully and hilariously closer to a self she never knew she could be--one that can confidently express and accept love. But she'll have to learn to accept lost love to get there. From debut author Tanya Boteju comes a poignant
laugh-out-loud tale of acceptance
self-expression
and the colorful worlds that await when we're brave enough to look.
