A review by questingnotcoasting
Pageboy by Elliot Page

emotional reflective medium-paced

3.5

This was an interesting but sometimes difficult read. It was hard to read about people treating Page awfully both at home and at work but it was reassuring to see how much he always enjoyed acting. Whip It is one of my favourite movies and I've always really liked Juno so I enjoyed reading about what it was like behind scenes. I would have like more stories from the sets but it's quite a short book and I realise that wasn't really the focus of the memoir. I do wonder I would have found the book more impactful had it been told in a linear way, as I was often a little confused about where we were in his life. However it was clear that writing the book was part of his healing process so I'm really glad he was able to do it.
