PAGEBOY was my most highly anticipated book of the year, and it did not disappoint. Elliot Page's candid reflections on his trans identity and family dynamics were truly captivating.
While some reviewers already mentioned a lack of cohesiveness in the book's structure, I appreciated the non-linear narrative style. That being said, I think grouping similar stories would have made the book even stronger.
Despite this, I still consider PAGEBOY to be an important work that promotes visibility and understanding of the trans community. Overall, it was a fantastic read and one that I highly recommend.
