Please see content warnings before reading this book. 

I’ve only read a handful of memoirs in my life but they’ve all been amazing, and Pageboy is as well. 

Just from the short authors note at the beginning of the book, I knew it would be incredible. It’s a story of discovering yourself and becoming comfortable in that discovery.
