A review by robinks
Pageboy by Elliot Page

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

3.25

I was excited to see that Page read his own audiobook - memoirs always seem to have a greater impact on me when done this way. However, the chapters felt so disorganized to me, both in chronology and topic. While I appreciate Page’s acknowledgement of his privileged identities, I want to read more memoirs by trans folks of color.
