Interesting exploration of gender dysphoria and queerness. Very candid look into his growth and evolution as an individual and an artist.
xenonhexafluoride's review against another edition
Autobiographies feel hard to impossible to put a number on based on content - who am I to judge someone's lived experience? So I won't.
What I will say is that this feels genuine. A seemingly heartfelt presentation of Page's life up to this point. However, it is hard to follow. Page jumps from year to year, back and forth in time with little to now obvious reasoning to it. It reads much more like an episodic telling of events rather than a cohesive whole. Additionally, the used language is often flowery, semi-poetic, where, at points, it comes off as forced and doesn't really do anything for me. (Plus there's an odd number of mentions of shitting, especially blood?)
Not bad by any means, but sadly not as well written and structured as I'd hoped for.

pistasdeblue's review against another edition
4.0
Las historias me parecieron super interesantes, mi corazón sufre por Elliot y todo lo que tuvo que pasar. Valoro demasiado que tomara el valor de hablar, porque así como él, estoy segura que mucha población LGBT+ y con otras diversidades también se encuentra sufriendo actualmente a costa de hacer su sueño realidad.
Ahora, no es un 5 para mi, porque es muy confuso, salta temporalmente y de tema de manera rara y siento que no es cohesiva la forma en que está narrada.
Recomiendo escucharlo, porque ayuda mucho más que leerlo.

To say I loved this book would be an understatement. Thank you for existing, Elliot.
