Reviews

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 *
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 *
