30something_reads 's review for:

Pageboy by Elliot Page
4.0

Technically I'd give this around 4⭐ but I'm rating it 5⭐ for Elliot Page and to spite his shit ass father and that c.you.n.t, Linda. 

God this was such a gut wrenching read sometimes. The things that Elliot has gone through in his personal and professional life had me angry and so so sad. 

I really appreciate how he discusses his journey with his sexuality and his gender as separate and constantly evolving. 

(Less important but still happy to hear that Michael Cera and Hugh Jackman are good people.)

My only issue technically is the organization of the story. I'm not sure the non-linear format was super successful. I found myself confused on where we were in the grand scheme of things.
