As far as celebrity memoirs go, this one is exceptionally well written. Page is eloquent and evocative in recounting his life. I enjoyed listening to the audiobook of him reading it. It reinforced for me the importance of queer spaces for youth and supporting trans folks. Essential reading for LGBTQ+ folks and allies.

I really loved this! It seems like the nonlinear story telling is something that folks seem really divided on, but I thought he did it really well. I enjoyed the way he wrote generally speaking, but also specifically the nonlinear narrative. 

I really resonated with the way he described some more internal experiences - as a fellow pisces, that internal escapism is unfortunately quite a mood (especially re: the closet and gender dysphoria). I really enjoyed the different aspects of relationships he discussed in here and the discussion of boundaries and autonomy. There were definitely some hard parts to read emotionally, but it was all really well done and I really liked this book!

Elliot is such a unique writer, and I enjoyed getting to know his story on his terms. It is quite clear this wasn't ghost-written. The structure is non-linear, which is hard to follow at times, but I actually enjoyed this aspect of the memoir. I interpreted the structure as thematic rather than chronological; it felt like we as readers got a peek into how Elliot put together the pieces of his life, mind, and body to come to his current sense of self. I also enjoyed the endearing historical anecdotes about places in Canada.
