This memoir by Elliot Page feels like stepping into his mind. From childhood freedom to the turmoil of life and to another portal now. He writes with deep reflection and vivid memory and describes personal moments that resonate years later along with swirling thoughts. So much is captured with all the senses. Trans people should never have to beg to be believed AND Elliot has written in a way that it is impossible for an open mind to not to understand his experiences and point of view.
