My man Elliot Page needed a better editor... I suspect his intention was to capture the nonlinear experience of being transgender, considering his allusion to it in the introduction, but he failed the execution, because the memoir comes off haphazardly slapped together, like an attempt to make sense of his past in the form of a published work, and thus doesn't truly cohere. I related to his experience quite a bit, but a lack of direction and flow frustrated me.
