4.5

My reason for not giving this 5 stars is that Page's moving backwards and forwards in time became a little confusing at times, being unclear how old he was when certain things happened.  I loved his honesty and his relationship with his step-mother was very sad.
I bought this book for my school library, but have decided to limit access to 15+ because of descriptive sexual experiences. I believe it's an important title to have in our collection and out of respect to Page, I don't want immature readers giggling about his most conflicted moments.

challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective sad tense medium-paced

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.
