sommer22's review against another edition

The first half of this book reads as a typical actor's memoir: their beginnings in the industry, their rise to fame, etc. I greatly enjoyed the second half when Page is coming to terms with his identity, first as a lesbian and then as a trans man. Even if his story is one of many trans narratives, this aspect showcases the nuances of his narrative and what makes it special.
I admire Page's self-reflection and groundedness, and he renders scenes with tender perception and feeling.
This memoir is nonlinear, which not infrequently felt jumpy. The ending also felt abrupt and disconnected from the present.
This is a good queer story to read, especially for those who have followed Page throughout his career. If you choose not to read it, though, that's OK too.
