This book is hard and raw and sensational. Plenty of content warnings but truly an insightful and amazing autobiography.

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

I appreciate that Elliot Page took the time to write down his story. I listened to the audiobook, and found it difficult at times to understand what time period in his life he was writing from due to the somewhat jumpy narrative.  I didn’t enjoy hearing about his sexual escapades or the many, many times he was sexually abused, but I have to acknowledge that these are true parts of his story and the book would not have been complete without them. It was uncomfortable to hear about who licked what while I rode the subway. Overall, I this book definitely wasn’t what I expected — I thought it would be a more uplifting take on the trans experience, but came out thinking it’s more of a dismal array of all the ways that people can be horrific to someone for being different. I wish the world was kinder.

Reflective journey through Elliot's early life and how it was shaped by his trans identity, which took him many years to come to terms with. This autobio sheds light on the lived experience of the pain and joys of moving through the world as a closeted and then publicly queer and trans person.

jaqjak's review against another edition

the difficulties of coming of age as a trans person were too close to what I'm experiencing now. I'm excited to pick it back up down the line!
