I picked this up as a queer and genderqueer reader who has always loved Elliot Page and am a huge reader of memoir. I was pleasantly surprised at how good of a writer he is. I loved Page's descriptions and detail. He was raw, open and emotional which I really appreciated. The text was hard to read at times because of the nature of the subject matter, but I really loved this memoir!
I also think it's really important for straight and cis people to pick up this book and gain more understanding and perspective.
