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.

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

4.25

A powerful and brave memoir by actor Elliot Page about his life and journey to identify as gay and then to come out as a trans man. 

The memoir is written in a non-linear order, each chapter jumping forward or back in time. It's a bit disorienting, but it seems to work as well.
