I don't usually rate memoirs but I have to say, the non-linear writing style just did not work for me. It's not very cohesive & I was quite confused about what point in time events were happening. It felt like there were a couple random stories that didn't really fit & were just kinda thrown in there? The organization just isn't good.

It was hard for me to connect to the material majority of the time & I wish elliot could've really delve into some of the things he talked about more descriptively and truly unpacked all of it. I really wish Elliot spoke more about his transness in this, those moments are the ones I felt most connected to & I teared up every single fucking time.
