I Am Not Myself These Days by Josh Kilmer-Purcell Book Summary

“A glittering, bittersweet vision of an outsider who turned himself into the life and soul of the party. Kilmer-Purcell’s cast is part freak-show, part soap-opera, but his prose is graced with such insight and wit that the laughter is revelatory, and the tears—and there are tears to be shed along this extraordinary journey—are shed for people in whom everybody will find something of themselves. In a word, wonderful.”  — Clive Barker

“Absolutely hilarious and heartbreaking and heartfelt.” —Armistead Maupin, author of Tales of the City

The New York Times bestselling, darkly funny memoir of a young New Yorker's daring dual life—advertising art director by day, glitter-dripping drag queen and nightclub beauty-pageant hopeful by night—was a smash literary debut for Josh Kilmer-Purcell, now known for his popular Planet Green television series The Fabulous Beekman Boys. His story begins here—before the homemade goat milk soaps and hand-gathered honeys, before his memoir of the city mouse’s move to the country, The Bucolic Plague—in I Am Not Myself These Days, with “plenty of dishy anecdotes and moments of tragi-camp delight” (Washington Post).

Super good book!. Loved this book. Very entertaining and addictive. Would definitely recommend.

Good read. Worth more than the 99cents I paid

Great Read!!. This book was awesome - read it in one afternoon and literally could not put it down. Beautifully written and shockingly honest, it genuinely captures emotions in a way that catches you by surprise.

I need more of this. This book is... I can't and don't want to attempt describing it. I really enjoyed reading it, it pulls your mind and heart in many directions. Every part is exactly what you didn't know you wanted to happen. I am going to read this again. And again. Thank you author.

I Am Not Myself These Days. Darkly amusing look into an alternate lifestyle I know nothing about. Character driven memoir that is hard to put down. If it needs to be said (read) kilmer-Purcell delivers.

Tough Read. Not a tough read from the lack of writing technique, more from the "Oh God, enough already!" factor. Reading about this man's life was a test of how not to jump through the pages and make the madness stop. I know a little about drag queens and the second skin it represents. The writing was gritty and pretty, just like New York City. At once I was catapulted into the deep nightlife, I could smell the bars, then brought to a heartfelt quiet while two hearts connected over coffee and the Sunday Times. A boy in a mans body looking for squash--the comforts of home--completely out of reach, but right there. All I can say is I'm glad there was some resolve in this mans life. I hope Jack found his as well.

Amazing. I laughed, I was in love with the Jack and the romance, I cried, as the hope happy ending fads away. This is a great book, I couldn't put it down. Wish there are more books like this.

A Beautiful Story. This book found its way to me at a time when I needed it most. Thank you. Josh and Aqua’s story solidified my belief that we are all the same, while also so beautifully different.

Great work!. I don't usually read books... I picked this book up at barnes and noble and got sucked in. I downloaded this on my iPad and took it everywhere with me. This book is a great story and you can visualize every page. Definitely a great read.

Quick, entertaining read. I read this in two sittings...I didn't want to put it down.

Good. An unexpected story. A reminder of how different some lives truly can be. Well written & a decent read.

Got drunk just reading it!. Truly. How does anyone party that much and live? I couldn't put down my iPhone until I was finished with it I don't pretend to understand their relationship I, of the Disney mindset, but I loved the book! Loved his cleverness. Going to rest my bleeding eyes now...

Great. This book was a good read, it had me laughing and had me and some parts just was plain sad and crazy! Over all a good read!

Wow. Loved this book. Couldn't stop reading!

I am not myself these days. A touching love story that reminds readers that love and beauty can be found in every experience you live.

Loved it!. Very interesting and hard to put down for even a minute.

Highly Recommended. Wow! I was completely taken by this book! I couldn't put it down! I was enraptured by Josh and the struggled he faced on his chronicled year in New York. I highly suggest this to anyone who can stomach the rawness of true life in new York city.

Amazing read, tore through it in a day. Loved this book from start to finish.

Amazing. I didn't really know what I was getting myself into here... The book was kind of a whim purchase. But it turned out to be amazing! A true must read for any city dweller, party goer, anyone really! This NEEDS to be a movie!!!

Wow.. "I laughed, I cried, I laughed again"... And also got angry, cried more, felt upset, and cried more. I fell in love with this book! It expresses an unexpected love that turned sour. I decided to buy this after it was recommended by Tyler Oakley, and it was definitely worth it! Give it a read sometime, you won't be disappointed!

Absolutely Fabulous. Couldn't put the book down, hilarious ups and downs, tear jerking moments. Great story. Loved it.

Amazing story!. Hey this is a simple read and really moving. :) you should def read this.

Great Book. I downloaded this book based on ratings, reviews, and price. Turned out to be an incredibly entertaining story. Very strange yet completely normal (or justified to be so).

LOVE THIS BOOK!. I've read this book twice, and give it to my friends to read. Great story, you'll think about it long after you've finished it.

Good read.. I absolutely loved it.
