A bit scattered, but an interesting read for fans of the Scissor Sisters and Jake Shears. The book is divided into three parts: Youth, New York, and Scissor Sisters. The transition to the last part (which accounts for about 50% of the book) is a bit jarring, but eventually finds its footing. Interestingly, the book ends after the release of Ta Dah (2006), the band's second album. Having read about the band's various disagreements and struggles throughout their early years, I'm curious to see how their final two albums played out behind the scenes and to learn more about their eventual breakup. Will there be a second memoir, recounting the later years of the band, Jake Shears's breakup, and his work on Kinky Boots? I'd read it.
