It doesn't feel like the smoothed-over result of cautious editing, "as told to" anyone but Page himself. Such rawness, as a document of his life story, only makes it all the more singular. * Daily Telegraph * Brutally honest ... Powerful. * New York Times Book Review * Vivid Moving Juicy * NPR * At its heart [ Pageboy] is the story of his transitioning.... He writes, rather beautifully, about gender dysphoria, top surgery and finally finding himself. But the book is so much more than a tale of transition. Pageboy is a modern-day Hollywood Babylon, written by a sensitive soul. * Guardian * Page's compassion-inducing account feels vital ... Heartfelt and courageous in its honesty. * i Newspaper * Pageboy proves that he is a profoundly talented writer... It is a love story of sorts in which the greatest love turns out to be Page's alignment with his truest self. * Elizabeth Day * 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 * 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 * An unflinching account of a life pushed to the brink, and what it means to untangle ourselves from the expectations of others it's a must-read for anyone in the process of finding themselves. * Harper's Bazaar * 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 *
