Review by Booklist Review

Named after two wrestling icons, Bretman Rock was destined for greatness, born to become an iconic genderqueer beauty influencer and the first openly gay man on the cover of Playboy. This hilarious, impossible-to-put-down memoir takes readers on a roller-coaster ride through Bretman's first two decades. His childhood was spent rocketing through the jungles of his native Philippines and adventuring with his father, particularly after his mother and siblings found work in Hawaii. The days with his father were cut short by trauma, which Bretman writes about with humor and wisdom beyond his years. The author arrived in Hawaii speaking no English but quickly picked it up through beloved TV shows like Tila Tequila, RuPaul's Drag Race, and Bad Girls Club. Bretman has a gift for showmanship and has always lived to entertain--first family and classmates, then an entire online fandom, launched into the stratosphere via YouTube at breakneck pace. Rock's massive following, though, is built on his genuine personality. Equal parts memoir and advice, Rock's book offers readers guidance on handling grief, love, stress, and fame. Getting to know the brilliant, multilingual, sensitive, rambunctious, and hilarious person behind the Bretman Rock brand is an undeniable treat.
