An incredibly raw book that shows the complexity of coming to terms with yourself. 
One thing I liked about the writing was the brutal honesty and the push/pull tension. There was a real sense of reaching a moment of clarity then retreating. 
Whilst it’s not an experience I can fully ever understand, I think most of us can empathise with coming to terms with elements of ourselves we’ve been told aren’t ideal. 
Perhaps that, plus Page’s easy writing style made this so gripping for me.

mcnoble's review

emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

Elliot Page’s memoir captivates a multitude of emotions during his journey to sharing his self with the world. Through reflections into his childhood, he shares his years filled with pain, body dysmorphia, and the confusion of not being able to be who he really is. His writing is detailed, poignant, and beautiful. I think everybody could learn from reading his memoir; learning about trans experiences and also, learning about themselves alongside another person’s reflections. He is humble about his writings but this was perhaps my favorite memoir that I have ever read. Thank you, Elliot.
