About this listen
Boy, girl, artist, advocate. Courtney is more than the sum of her parts.
Meet Shane Jenek. Raised in the Brisbane suburbs by loving parents, Shane realises from a young age that he's not like all the other boys. At a performing arts agency, he discovers his passion for song, dance and performance, and makes a promise to himself: to find a bigger stage.
Meet Courtney Act. Born in Sydney around the turn of the millennium, Courtney makes her name in the gay bars of Oxford Street and then on Australian Idol. Over ten years later, she makes star turns on RuPaul's Drag Race and Celebrity Big Brother UK, bringing her unique take on drag and gender to the world.
Behind this rise to national and global fame is a story of searching for and finding oneself. Most of all, it’s a bloody good time.

Story4 out of 5 stars 749
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

A disturbing tale of a young man's uncanny ability to remain both young and beautiful while descending into a life of heartless debauchery, The Picture of Dorian Gray was considered proof of both Wilde's genius and his perversion. Oscar Wilde's scandalous best seller of 1891 was one of the most damning pieces of evidence used against him in the trial that brought about his downfall.

Story5 out of 5 stars 24
Oakley Farrow is your typical high school senior. He stays up late, cramming for finals. He has impossible deadlines to meet. He worries about his future as graduation lurks just around the corner. He has to defend himself from his abusive uncle. He has to keep his sister safe. He has to survive the constant torture from his bully, Asher Brooks—the seemingly arrogant and cruel star quarterback. Okay… so maybe not your typical high school senior.

A Class Act
Shane/Courtney’s story is a mix of reflection, memories, lessons learned, and guidebook of queer culture. They also do a great job bringing it to life in the audiobook.

Importantly Poignant
This is a truly fun experience. Really well read and the story is more than what you think a person in their 30's would have to write about. This is a self help book without banging you over the head with self help. Truly a fantastic listen.

Gentle Soul
After this book I can say I understand Courtney more than ever! Before I took her as a typical gay from WeHo but I mean growing up gay has never been easy. All her walls and questions made me realize, we think the same way.

Didn’t catch it
I’ve enjoyed Courtney sense drag race season 6 now I was looking forward to her book unfortunately what I realized is the story was a little all over the place. I wish their was tighter story telling and when choosing to focus on gender identity and what have u the. Focus on it don’t make it seem like an after thought.
