This was really sad, but made me happy that Elliot can be open with himself and his experiences.

emotional hopeful informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Elliot Page did a fantastic job at describing and communicating how he was feeling growing up and how he ended up being able to finally be himself. 

It was such an insightful book about the struggles of growing up feeling different than everyone else, but not quite understanding why. It's about accepting people the way they are, without trying to change them. Sometimes that includes cutting people out of your life, who can't accept you for who you are. 

It was very moving and I felt for him the whole time.
The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars, are the time skips from chapter to chapter. For me, it was a bit confusing trying figure out at what time in his life it happened. 

Apart from that, a great book, dealing with some hard topics, but it's also hopeful and I wish him all the best.

There are several descriptions of non-consensual sex where he felt unable to say no or felt like he had to/should go along with it.
