"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

—Alok Vaid-Menon
