The House of Rural Realness

About this book

Peter Thompkin is in need of a public image overhaul after his vicious clapback against the most popular gay in school goes viral. When his best friend Alan, aka teen drag queen Aggie Culture, announces the first public drag performance by The House of Rural Realness, Peter steps forward as their producer. It might be the only way he can escape the rumors following him everywhere in his small country town. Peter leads the queens as they survive bigoted backlash and survive one another. But will Mason County' s Drag Extravaganza drop dead before they make their first death drop? And will Peter and Alan' s friendship even survive past curtain call? Touching, sharply funny and a little absurd, The House of Rural Realness explores the pains and pleasures of queer community through one teen' s stumbling journey towards self-acceptance.
