errinnnn's review against another edition
1.0
Non linear narrative that was executed so terribly that you never know where abouts in time you are with Page, WAYYYYY too much talk about poo, an unbearable amount of detail about all the sex he has had and, considering Elliot Page is an actor, awful narration. The whole audiobook was read in a flat, monotone voice that made it impossible for me to get invested in what he was saying since it just sounded like one long drone. It feels cruel to critique someone’s life story so strongly but this book was in desperate need of a great editor and I think would have benefitted from a much later release date to fine tune any and all issues within it.

There are several descriptions of non-consensual sex where he felt unable to say no or felt like he had to/should go along with it.pearlisarobot's review against another edition

Some of these subjects are kind of par for the course when contextualized with what we know about Elliot publicly already (as a public figure who came out as a lesbian in 2014 before eventually coming out as trans) such as lesbophobia, transphobia, religious bigotry, mentions of (potential) hate crimes. But Elliot’s story is also full of history not only around the Canadian landscape of his youth, but also of characters that he has played, and he does not shy away from sharing all of the gory details ofSpoiler
a local explosion that devastated Nova Scotia, or even the way that one of his film characters was murdered.Spoiler

hollywood is built on leveraging queerness. tucking it away when needed, pulling it out when beneficial while patting themselves on the back.
