5.0

I cried in the intro and that really just set the tone for the whole book. I feel almost overwhelmed with how incredible it is to hear Elliot's story this way. I can't recommend the audiobook enough; hearing it in his own voice is a beautiful thing.
(Seriously check the content warnings though, this is not an easy one)

This memoir was great, and I loved what Elliot chose to share in it. However, the biggest problem was in the non linear narrative. It was incredibly confusing in this book, and some stories were written so vaguely that I ended up confused at times.
