torikate7's review against another edition

Between the graphic descriptions of some of the very dark movies Elliott played in early in his career and the many instances of abuse and discrimination he has lived through, this book was a lot to stomach and in the end I had to stop reading it. Significant trigger warnings on this one.

lspbooks's review against another edition

I read 115 pages or 42% but never became invested and didn't enjoy the pace or style. Many negative anecdotes and painful recollections including recounts of trauma/violence experience. See content warnings.

Loved this book! I listened to the audiobook and it was great. Love when the author does the audiobook too.
Like others have mentioned, the timeline was hard for me to follow at times, especially when listening to the audiobook.

My man Elliot Page needed a better editor... I suspect his intention was to capture the nonlinear experience of being transgender, considering his allusion to it in the introduction, but he failed the execution, because the memoir comes off haphazardly slapped together, like an attempt to make sense of his past in the form of a published work, and thus doesn't truly cohere. I related to his experience quite a bit, but a lack of direction and flow frustrated me.

I’ve nothing new or profound to say, nothing that hasn’t been said before, but I know books have helped me, saved me even, so perhaps this can help someone feel less alone, seen, no matter who they are or what journey they are on. Thank you for wanting to read about mine.

Extremely well written, Elliot has a talent when it comes to describing things that feel wordless. A brave telling of a tumultuous life
