A wonderful peak and understanding of the icon that is RuPaul Charles.
I had high hopes for this memoir and it absolutely delivered. The titular "House of Hidden Meanings" is all about looking through and finding undercurrents and understandings from the past, looking to find the significance in life's crazy ups and downs. RuPaul does an amazing job of detailing his life, upbringing, trials and tribulations, all while seeing the purpose and importance in how it impacted him.
I listened to the audiobook format and hearing the author read their own words is always such a delight because you get so much more than just reading their words. I felt like RuPaul was talking to me. Loved it!
One of the things I've noticed is that the sign of a good memoir is when you find yourself looking back on your own life experiences and start seeing the parallels. As I was listening to his story, I began to reflect on my own life and moments that I believe shaped me in certain ways. Hopefully, as you read/listen to this, you do the same and find new hidden meanings within your own story.
