dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

3.5

Reflective journey through Elliot's early life and how it was shaped by his trans identity, which took him many years to come to terms with. This autobio sheds light on the lived experience of the pain and joys of moving through the world as a closeted and then publicly queer and trans person.

5.0

I really loved this! It seems like the nonlinear story telling is something that folks seem really divided on, but I thought he did it really well. I enjoyed the way he wrote generally speaking, but also specifically the nonlinear narrative. 

I really resonated with the way he described some more internal experiences - as a fellow pisces, that internal escapism is unfortunately quite a mood (especially re: the closet and gender dysphoria). I really enjoyed the different aspects of relationships he discussed in here and the discussion of boundaries and autonomy. There were definitely some hard parts to read emotionally, but it was all really well done and I really liked this book!
