“I am evolved as I freed myself from the expectations of others. These memories shape a nonlinear narrative, because queerness is intrinsically nonlinear, journeys that bend and wind. Two steps forward, one step back.”

I'm one of those people that never knows how to review memoirs. What I will say, is that this was a hard read - not because Elliot Page did a bad job; he didn't! - but because the content is so raw and devastating for most of the book. I can only imagine how much it took out of him to be this vulnerable and I'm grateful he's telling his story.

It was heartfelt and hopeful, even with the darkness. A tough read, but an important one.
