APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When Elliot Page came out as transgender in 2020, we wondered about the private journey behind that very public moment. Page has appeared on screen since age 10, and in this unguarded memoir, he talks candidly about how he first learned to stifle and conceal his true identity as a young child in Nova Scotia. What’s even more heartbreaking is hearing about the knock-on effects of Page’s upbringing, which conditioned him to stay just as silent as he dealt with stalkers, sexual assault, and an eating disorder in the years to come. Still, this isn’t just a trauma story. Page opens up about the tremendous, overwhelming joy that came with slowly learning to accept himself and live authentically—something you can hear in his sincere narration. Pageboy is a testament to the life-saving importance of being yourself.

Profoundly wonderful…
…on many levels. Honesty and integrity make listening to this autobiography an absolute pleasure. There was Jo thing like this available when I was growing up queer, this book is going to really help a lot of people feel seen, and not alone.
I’ve loved Elliot through all his incarnations, on this earth. ✨ what an amazing human being.

Phenomenal! Transparent and Awareness
Elliot's openness and transparency about his journey have given me the feeling that I am not alone. I can relate to some of his experiences and emotions.
Being part of the LGBTQ+ community I appreciate Elliot’s vulnerability when writing Pageboy. A simple thank you is not enough to express my gratitude to him. However, thank you Elliot for Pageboy. Thank you for making me feel less alone.
