Rezensionen

"Eloquent and enthralling....[Pageboy] is an intense, emotional read, delivered in image-drenched prose. "'Let me just exist with you,' he writes, 'happier than ever.' Reading those words nearly made me cry. Page's plea is small. It also feels very big."
-Washington Post

"Powerful"
-New York Times Book Review

"Raw, harrowing and often heartbreaking to read... Page's book arrives, as if on cue, in a moment when the trans community is facing even more danger than when he started writing it just over a year ago."
-LA Times

"Pageboy is like listening to a friend... It's impossible to miss the truth in his words: 'I wouldn't be typing this right now if it weren't for you and your care.' ... Now is an excellent time to read this humanizing and well-written memoir."
-Associated Press

"Exquisitely written... [Elliot] doesn't flinch or equivocate."
- Audible Best of 2023

"In his own words, Page sets the record about the pressure to perform and a society that has attempted to funnel him into a binary. Raw, searing and intimate, "Pageboy" may move you to tears, lead you to laughter and leave you with a newfound respect for actors that push the industry forward."
-The New York Post's "The 45 Best Audible books we read and loved"

"The emergence of our true selves is all of our life's work. Pageboy helps chart the course."
-Jamie Lee Curtis

"Searing, deeply moving, and incredibly poignant... This isn't simply a book on what it means to be trans, it's about what it means to be human."
-Alok Vaid-Menon
