A touching memoir about Elliot's journey to be who he is. There are mentions and focus on the various abuses a trans person, especially a celebrity trans person, faces throughout their life. Each chapter felt like a snapshot of Elliot's life. The audiobook edition is read by Elliot himself and that was such a nice touch. Some readers may need to cover this in a group discussion as it can sometimes be a bit tricky to remember what events happened when. For me the effect was that of a conversation and I enjoyed that.
