I genuinely loved this book, lost stars for being nearly impossible to follow for me.
Another book club read, that I really got lost in once I got going.
Elliot did so well describing the troubles of not knowing you're trans and not being able to figure out why you are so uncomfortable, something I very much relate to. He was relatable and funny, and very aware of his privileges. I really felt like he had grown a lot by the end, and that I knew him well as a person.
I do feel weird rating a memoir, but I liked it a lot and really saw myself in him.
