I honestly didn’t know what to expect but since I love Elliot Page it was an instant purchase.
This memoir really dives into his childhood trauma and trauma around coming out, including all of his relationships and hookups along the way. He makes it clear he still has a lot of work to do unpacking everything he’s been through, and you can very much see he’s still on a journey.
I would say you need to be in the right frame of mind to read this because there are some really difficult topics addressed here including abuse, sexual assault and disordered eating. This is particularly apparent in the first half of the book.
I really enjoyed his tangents, I felt like a learnt a lot about Nova Scotia, the environment, roller derby, the city of Los Angeles…and more! It’s written like a friend telling you a story and I appreciated that.
I feel like some people might struggle with how disjointed it is, it really flits between time periods and topics with no real through line. But I honestly really enjoyed that and it kept me interested.
I personally wish there’d been a little bit more about the Umbrella Academy era. But he generally doesn’t linger much on his work outside of how incredibly uncomfortable it has been masking all these years and how suffocating the whole industry can be for queer people.
Overall, I highly recommend!
