To receive a story so honest, so beautifully narrated was honestly a surprise to me.
This memoir illustrates a life time of struggle, inauthentic and genuine connectivity with others, a journey of self discovery and coming into their identity.
Elliot Page manages to create a memoir that can connect to the hearts of many, particularly trans people who need to know their own identity doesn’t necessarily come to overnight.
He manages to articulate the struggle inside a brain that so many of us grapple with.
I will be forever grateful and truly honoured that we were privileged to be told about his life.
