  • The chapters feel like short stories, scattered throughout Elliot's life
  • There is a lot about sex and relationships (which makes sense given Page's coming out as gay paving the way to be himself). However, there are some sex scenes from their younger years which read as sexual abuse. Beware if this is a trigger.
  • As a Southern queer nonbinary person, Elliot's reflection on sexuality and gender was refreshing to read. I wish the world were kinder to exploration like this, and I'm happy Page exists publicly to share his story.
  • While wanting to love this, the book was okay for me. I'm generally not a memoir person, but wanted to give this a shot.
