4.5

As other reviewers have shared, the time jumps in the book were a bit hard to digest. (for example; going from a story of elliot at age 6 and then jumping to age 19 and back to age 6 and then to age 28) I had trouble keeping up with the time jumps. Altogether though, thank you Elliot Page for sharing yourself with us. I appreciate you.

5.0

I cried in the intro and that really just set the tone for the whole book. I feel almost overwhelmed with how incredible it is to hear Elliot's story this way. I can't recommend the audiobook enough; hearing it in his own voice is a beautiful thing.
(Seriously check the content warnings though, this is not an easy one)

3.5

I love EP and appreciate his vulnerability in this piece. However, the majority of the novel was challenging. Pedophelia, non consensual physical advances, parental abuse/neglect, parental abandonment/narcissism… yowza was this a potluck of triumph and pain. Not what I had in mind going into it, but I’m grateful for the read. It was really nice being able to trust his account of things so easily; he’s able to hold the good and the imperfect about himself and his choices so earnestly and mindfully compassionate that it was clear the work he’s done. Bravo for lovely people
