Awful. Just awful "writing." Really not even 1 star.
I had such high hopes because there had to be strength in this well-known author's life, but it was just a boring book. Like he got a homework assignment in English class to write an autobiographical piece, but didn't bother with any details. Such a disappointment. D

At first I found this book being told in a non chronological order to be a bit disorienting but eventually grew to love it. It felt organic the way we tell stories and share about lives- the way you don’t realize an important connection until many years later sometimes.

It was heart wrenching to hear of some of the things Elliot went through and I’m so humbled to read about them here. We cannot pretend that this level of aggression isn’t happening to our trans folk. We need to acknowledge it and hold those around us accountable.

I loved reading about Elliot finding queer spaces and the freedom to be themselves.

Especially as a queer person I want to read more queer things this brought me a lot of joy.
