Come forth with an open mind, for an unconventional tale of love.. Dublin native Freda Wilson considers herself to be an acquired taste. She has a habit of making offensive jokes and speaking her mind too often. She doesn't have the best track record with first impressions, which is why she gets a surprise when her new neighbour Nicholas takes a shine to her.Nicholas is darkly handsome, funny and magnetic, and Freda feels like her black and white existence is plunged into a rainbow of colour when she's around him. When he walks into a room he lights it up, with his quick wit and charisma. He is a travelling cabaret performer, but Freda doesn't know exactly what that entails until the curtains pull back on his opening night. She is gob-smacked and entirely intrigued to see him take to the stage in drag. Later on, Nicholas asks her if she would like to become his show assistant. Excited by the idea, she jumps at the chance. Soon she finds herself immersed in a world of wigs, make-up and high heels, surrounded by pretty men and the temptation of falling for her incredibly beautiful employer.In this story of passion and sexual discovery, Nicholas and Freda will contend with jealousy, emotional highs and lows, and the kind of love that only comes around once in a lifetime.… (plus d'informations)

I ended up putting this on my book rejected shelf.
Honestly, it was just to slow moving for me.
There were parts I liked A LOT
but waiting for them to act on their attraction to each other made me feel Tired.

Well that was certainly different. I wasn't drawn in quite as much as I could have been. But I liked it. ( )

It had such potential. I wanted more of the hero's back story and more of an exploration of how a straight man who is a female performer translates into gender performance in his real life particularly in romantic/sexual relationships with women. ( )

it will make you question your gender specific ideas of what is male and what is female. ( )

This book was awkward in parts but hilarious throughout the entire book!! Some of my favorite quotes are:

"I might not have a boyfriend, but i have cupcakes, and those tasty bastards haven't let me down yet"
"I probably would have given him a chance by now if it weren't for the fact that he bores the tits off me"
"I have never met Saoirse, but Nora talks about her a lot and I get the impression she's a bit of a cunt"

Ah man the author was so extremely funny in her rants, and so completely honest. I loved how she painted a picture of masculinity but altered the package it came in. "Human beings don't always fit into a perfect box the way you want them to" Nicholas was so extremely sexy, but at times i'll admit I blushed when he was on stage but in the end it was refreshing to see Fred see past all that and fall in love with the person on the inside AND the outside.

Nora her supposed "best friend" was kind-of a shitty best friend and I didn't really like her character at all, she wasn't very supportive, giving of advice, and nice in general. That really was the only con i saw in this book, Aaron was a little weird and they skirted around the sexual tension for so long I was getting antsy but all in all a great uplifting read :-) ( )
