So the actual story is really compelling about heartbreaking but, like most memoirs I read, is jumbled and feels unfinished. This book would have benefited with a chronological order format or at least naming the year each story was in. Page uses ages as time markers and as someone who has no idea how old they are, it was confusing. Page also throws in lots of random info that doesn't contribute to the story, like info about landmarks or anecdotes about childhood musings. The parts of the story that felt relevant and composed, like Page's tumultuous relationship with their dad or growth in relationships, added reflection and complexity that's desperately needed in this book. I wish I liked this more because learning about Elliot Pages story was so engaging (plus I love them!) but, this book was a little too all over the place for my taste.
