#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Full of intimate stories, from chasing down secret love affairs to battling body image and struggling with familial strife, Pageboy is a love letter to the power of being seen. With this evocative and lyrical debut, Elliot Page captures the universal human experience of searching for ourselves and our place in this complicated world.
'Can I kiss you?' It was two months before the world premiere of Juno, and Elliot Page was in his first ever queer bar. The hot summer air hung heavy around him as he looked at her. And then it happened. In front of everyone. The unthinkable. Here he was on the precipice of discovering himself as a queer person, as a trans person. Getting closer to his desires, his dreams, himself, without the repression he'd carried for so long. But for Elliot, two steps forward had always come with one step back.
With Juno's massive success, Elliot became one of the world's most beloved actors. His dreams were coming true, but the pressure to perform suffocated him. He was forced to play the part of the glossy young starlet, a role that made his skin crawl, on and off set. The career that had been an escape out of his reality and into a world of imagination was suddenly a nightmare. As he navigated criticism and abuse from some of the most powerful people in Hollywood, a past that snapped at his heels and a society dead set on forcing him into a binary, Elliot often stayed silent, unsure of what to do. Until enough was enough.
The Oscar-nominated star who captivated the world with his performance in Juno finally shares his story in a groundbreaking and inspiring memoir about love, family, fame - and stepping into who we truly are with strength, joy and connection.

Great Book
The book is full of pain and sadness which you, Elliot, had to get through. Thank you for sharing this intimate story. I hope that you leave the pain behind you and can finally enjoy your life from now on.

Touching and necessary
Everyone knew him as the girl from Juno. No one knew about the struggles he had to endure - struggles to be himself, struggles to have a voice and make his own choices because people told him he wouldn’t be successful anymore. When Elliot Page came out as transgender he was celebrated and he had to face hatred, something he had done his whole life. This time the hate came „only“ from outside sources and no longer from the inside. It didn’t make it better or less hurtful.
This book is about becoming the person you were always meant to be. It’s about looking in the mirror and seeing yourself after 30 years of struggling to do that. It’s about facing your truth and creating a good life for yourself no matter the opinion of others.
I really enjoyed listening to his story. It’s touching and sad and inspiring and helpful - no matter if you are transgender, have someone in your life who is or just like to listen to inspirational stories and/ or broaden your horizon.

Powerful, moving and beautifully written
Extremely moving. Beautifully written. He shares a brutally honest story that will hopefully encourage supportive parents, as well as strengthen queer folxs and above all, other trans people. He's been through so much, but shows that radical change and self-acceptance are possible, that it isn't always a linear journey to get there. The book also shows the importance of setting boundaries amd cutting people off when it comes to biological family; and the importance of finding loving friends and chosen family. What an achievement

Highly recommended!
Written with honesty and emotion, this is a beautiful and moving memoir to read. The author travels through time highlighting bright spots and low points, all leading to an eventuality of recognising who he truly is. I was eagerly awaiting the release of Pageboy and it was worth the wait! Thank you to the author for sharing his journey and life story.

Thank you, Pageboy :)
As a nb/ftm person taking their first difficult steps right now, this book couldn't have come out at a better time. Elliot Page expresses his feelings in a way that makes it easier to grasp my own - be it similar or differing ones - which is not at all an easy feat. And I plan on going through this book again to get some reference which I can hopefully present to my family as a means to help them understand better. Expressing myself has never been my strong suit, so I'm excited to learn something from the way Mr. Page does it in this book.

Not written for audiobook
Perhaps it's better on the written page but all these time jumps between AND within chapters is so disorienting. There is a lot of sex, there is a lot of abuse and sometimes it's hard to tell which is which. Perhaps it would make more sense if told linear, perhaps Page doesn't know himself what the point of some stories were. For the amount off personal stuff laid out here, I still don't feel like I know them, or perhaps this is just a person l'm not on the same wavelength with

Okay, I guess
Very open and honest and detailed story BUT skipping back and forth in the timeline, I lost track several times. Unfortunately boring here and there and way to explicit occasionally, where it is not neccessary. Okay book to listen to, but not my fave.
