He's here to slay
but will he stay? James Petika is living the single gay life he always wanted. A police officer in Chicago, he has a good job, good friends-and he's two thousand miles away from his family's expectations. He also has a problem: he needs a date for his sister's wedding in Missoula, Montana, but his family has no idea that he's gay, and he'd like to keep it that way. The solution? Daniel Bonafonte aka Lala Traviata, the queen of the Chicago drag scene. Lala is the real thing: she can sing, she can dance-and she can throw more shade than a solar eclipse. One drink and plenty of dishing later, Daniel agrees to help James out and be his incognito date to the wedding. Daniel's drag-diva skills are put to the test right away, with the bride's ill-fitting wedding dress, a groom who's a danger on the dance floor and more drama than auditions for a gay men's chorus. Faking this relationship-and ignoring the very real feelings developing between them-might just be the performance of their lives. No library descriptions found. |

Fairytale feel to a fake-date trope in which a couple goes to a family wedding. The relationship is fake, the girlfriend is not a girl, the boyfriend is not into girls, and the family is Montana conservative. There are secrets to keep, problems to solve, a wedding to save, family drama, and a come-out for one character that was not as he had ever planned it to be.
NOTES:
* This was an easy-to-read, quick-paced, fun frolic with some big issues alluded to and some that were tackled.
* I loved Daniel-Daniella-Lala in all of his appearances. He was wise, aware, knew himself, took no guff, and was also caring, kind, generous, and a person anyone would want as a friend.
* James, the brother of the bride, grew quite a bit in the story and began to come into his own. I loved his interactions with his sisters and how he became more aware of himself and others.
* Holly and her fiancé were good people and so was little sister Margot.
* Grace, mother of the bride, was someone that may have had a good heart lurking somewhere underneath all of her commandments, expectations, and pushinessâŠmaybe.
* Phillip, father of the groom wasâŠa bit nebulous but spoke his mind from time to time.
* Weston was someone I would never want to meetâŠanywhere
* Interesting and sometimes âunbelievableâ but eye opening and made me think
