So. I read this book. Finished it last night in fact and spent the night marinating my review.

I personally have never been to P-town, but I feel like I have experienced it through Jacob’s writing. The drag shows, the underwear parties, the shopping and the joyous freedom to just be. The freedom to be who you are, to be happy and to be something maybe you never knew you wanted to be. Jacob ha...
