My Life As A Goddess

 My Life As A Goddess: A Memoir Through (Un)Popular Culture by Guy Branum         288 pages

Funny and in your face.  Guy Branum says what he thinks and my, my, some of the things he thinks!  This book is an excellent read and if you get a chance to check out the audiobook the author reads it himself which adds loads of flavor and attitude.   I do not recommend this book for young children but mature teens on up ought to find it amusing if not outright hilarious.    He does use descriptive language and there are sexual exploits involved and freely discussed with anatomical slang words involved (read between the lines here) so having said that, it is a very honest, often funny, sometimes sad (his Dad basically disowned him for being gay) but resilent.  Guy Branum has earned the interchangeable title goddess/queen through his sheer tenacity in being the best version of himself he can be while giving a nod to his Yuba City, California upbringing.   He shines.   Reminder Adult language and discussion of openly gay situations.  He is a comedy alum from the t.v. show, "Chelsea Lately."
