A review by madscientistcat
Pageboy by Elliot Page

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

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)
