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.

Review:
I've read this book before and after Bohemian Rhapsody (again) I was in the mood for this book. This is a very unconventional love story and it won't be everyone's cup of tea.
I liked it because no matter what it's a good love story, it shows you that in order to have a good relationship you need to accept the person you're with. All of it, not just the pieces you like. And in some cases you need a bit of an open mind.
What is this book about:
This book is about Dublin girl Freda, or Fred as she likes to be called. She is a witty, sassy, kind of girl with a mouth on her that can be used as a weapon.
One day after she gets home from work she meets her new neighbor Nicholas, a beautiful man, who introduced himself as Vivianne, or Viv. She thought he was just messing with her, and that he just pulled that name out of thin air, but that wasn't the case. After going to the club Nicholas works in, she finds out that he is a drag queen. She can't help but be intrigued in this man. She wants to get to know him, become his friend. She never expected him to be as into her as she is in him. That he could possible want her, all of her.
What did I like about this book:
I liked the characters. I liked their chemistry. I liked that the story is so well rounded. I found it really interesting to learn more about Nicholas and Freda.
I can really relate to freda, she isn't a size 0 and while she is at easy with her body, she still has insecurities.
