Pageboy
The Oscar-nominated star who captivated the world with his performance in Juno finally shares his story in Pageboy, a deeply personal and evocative memoir. Delve into the tumultuous journey of Elliot Page, who, before the world premiere of Juno, stood on the precipice of self-discovery. Though Juno's astounding success brought his dreams to fruition, it also plunged him into the relentless glare of the spotlight, where the pressures to conform were overwhelming.
Pageboy reveals the heart-wrenching details of Page's battles with body image, the hidden turbulence of secret love affairs, and the struggles of navigating a difficult childhood. It is a beautifully intimate narrative about the quest for self-identity and finding one's place in the world, written with raw honesty and profound introspection.
