4.0

This was a difficult read. Elliot Page uses language and provides serial descriptions that are graphic and direct. It made me uncomfortable. But I believe that was his goal, to be raw and exposed and honest. 

The peek into his life showed so much that I did not expect. And I believe his voice deserves to be heard.

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)
