Pageboy, brought to you by Penguin, is not just a book about being transgender. It goes beyond that, delving into what it truly means to be human.

It's a heartfelt tribute to the power of being seen, capturing the universal experience of searching for one's place in this complicated world.
In this audiobook, Elliot Page shares a pivotal moment in his life. Picture this: two months before the world premiere of Juno, Elliot finds himself in a queer bar, feeling the heavy summer air around him. In that moment, he musters up the courage to ask, "Can I kiss you?" What follows is unthinkable. This encounter becomes a turning point in his journey of self-discovery, as he embraces his queer and trans identity, breaking free from the years of repression he has endured. But, for Elliot, progress has always been accompanied by setbacks.
As Juno becomes a massive success, Elliot rises to become one of the world's most beloved actors. However, the pressure to perform takes its toll on him. The role of a glossy young starlet, both on and off set, feels suffocating and inauthentic. The career that once offered an escape from reality becomes a living nightmare. Amidst criticism, abuse, and societal expectations, Elliot often remains silent, uncertain of his next steps. But eventually, enough becomes enough.
In this groundbreaking and inspiring memoir, Elliot Page, the Oscar-nominated star of Juno, reveals his story. He explores themes of love, family, fame, and the empowering journey of embracing one's true self with strength, joy, and connection. Press play and let Elliot's words touch your soul.
