"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 * 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 * 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 *"

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 *
