5.0
Rating: 5/5 stars
A memoir from Academy Award nominated actor Elliot Page about his life, including his career and his journey to coming out as trans.
I’ve been on a huge celebrity memoir kick lately, and this is one of the best I’ve read all year. Pageboy is raw and vulnerable and honest, and made me simultaneously so sorry for all Elliot has gone through and so glad he can now live his truth.
The narration of the audiobook was also fantastic, and delivered in a way that really added to the presentation of the story. Overall, if you’re interested in memoirs, I highly recommend this one.
CW: transphobia; homophobia; eating disorder; body horror/dysmorphia; sexual content; drug use; mentions of suicidal thoughts and self harm
