Pageboy by Elliot Page
4.0
challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring sad fast-paced

If you’re trans and reading this book, please make sure to look after yourself while doing so, especially if you’re yet to transition as much as you want to (either socially or physically). There are some lovely passages about acceptance and community, but the book also contains (important) discussions around dysphoria and repression. 
 
As a trans man myself, I found Elliot's memoir to be very validating - comforting and challenging in equal measure. 
   
Though this is a powerful book, unfortunately it’s not written very well. The writing was clunky and confusing in places, resulting in meanings and potentially impactful moments being lost.
