Goodreads review by Heather K (dentist in my spare time) on July 03, 2021

*2.5 stars* This pains me deep in my fan-girl heart to say, but Trixie and Katya's Guide to Modern Womanhood wasn't as funny or as clever as it wanted to be. I'm a huge Drag Race fan, and I love my comedy queens, so of course I'm obsessed with Trixie and Katya. I religiously watch their YouTube show......more

Goodreads review by Andrea on June 24, 2020

Firstly let me say right off the bat: the photos of these two idiots are worth the price of admission. I was on page "xi" and came to that conclusion. And honey (oh honey!) it just gets better from there. Fans of UNHhhh are going to love the inclusion of classic lines such as "Ladies and gentlemen,......more

I am a cisgender male, and after reading Trixie and Katya's Guide to Modern Womanhood, I am confident that I could never rise to the task of being a modern woman. Congratulations to these biological women on their grand success.......more

Goodreads review by Mara on September 17, 2020

This was a perfectly fine, humorous take on a memoir. I especially enjoyed the transcripts of T&K's conversations together, and the gorgeous photos were well worth the price of the physical copy. That said, I wouldn't say this is one for people who are not fans already.......more

Quotes

"Drag Race fans, rejoice! Whether you're looking for health and beauty tips or microguides to running your home, you'll find something to love in Trixie and Katya's Guide to Modern Womanhood."
—Bustle, A most anticipated Book of July 2020

"If the shaking ghosts of Emily Dickinson, William Shakespeare, and Jane Austen could speak right now, they’d be all 'Oh, hoooooney!' as drag superstars Trixie Mattel and Katya rise to the status of literary icons. . . . One of the funniest books of the year."
—Entertainment Weekly

"The Drag Race superstars have managed to boil down their collective, unmatched charisma to a series of essays—a working mix of satire and earnestness—that offer up advice on beauty, relationships, self-love, and friendship. A somewhat tongue-in-cheek play on the etiquette books of yore, there is no part of this breezy read that isn’t thoroughly engaging."
—The A.V. Club

"RuPaul's Drag Race alumnae Trixie Mattel and Katya deliver an outrageously funny satirical self-help guide that is also smart and insightful... a laugh-out-loud mixture of profane standup and stylish advice writing that rivals Miss Manners at her best. Filled with kooky, brightly colored photos of the outrageous duo, Trixie and Katya's Guide to Modern Womanhood is a visual delight. And the eye-catching design is matched by the smart and zany tongue-in-cheek advice skillfully dispensed by Trixie and Katya."
—Shelf Awareness

"Their first book is a satirical guide to life told through essays and conversations that channel their chaotic-in-a-great-way energy. . . . Will you cry-laugh? Yes ma'am."
