I enjoyed this read as memoirs are a new genre that I am exploring in my reading journey. Growing up I loved Juno and still do so I was very intrigued to read this memoir by Elliot and learn more about him outside of being a public figure and film actor. I thought it was an interesting journey through Elliot’s self discovery of his transness and queerness while also tackling issues such as gender dysmorphia, coming out, and industry backlash for presenting against gender and societal norms. I listened to the audiobook read by Elliot so I would definitely recommend that as well. The book did jump around often timeline wise but I didn’t mind it too much. Overall, a beautiful, reflective, and heavy read at times but nevertheless I would recommend it to others!
