![]() ![]() Full of behind the scenes details and intimate interrogations on sex, love, trauma, and Hollywood, Pageboy is the story of a life pushed to the brink. The career that had been an escape out of his reality and into a world of imagination was suddenly a nightmare.Īs he navigated criticism and abuse from some of the most powerful people in Hollywood, a past that snapped at his heels, and a society dead set on forcing him into a binary, Elliot often stayed silent, unsure of what to do, until enough was enough. He was forced to play the part of the glossy young starlet, a role that made his skin crawl, on and off set. His dreams were coming true, but the pressure to perform suffocated him. With Juno's massive success, Elliot became one of the world's most beloved actors. But for Elliot, two steps forward had always come with one step back. Getting closer to his desires, his dreams, himself, without the repression he'd carried for so long. Here he was on the precipice of discovering himself as a queer person, as a trans person. The hot summer air hung heavy around him as he looked at her. ![]() "Can I kiss you?"

My darling ➳ ✨ GIANNA RUSSO MARINO ALLISTER✨: I'm really sorry and I needed to do better. It didn't capture the obsession love I have for this book and for this characters enough. Goodreads might say that I've only read this book twice, which is a huge lie considering the number of times I've re-read this book hasn't been invented yet, cause it goes beyond infinity.Īnyway, my first review for The Maddest Obsession was a disservice to Gianna and Christian. "It means, to live with wolves, you have to howl like a wolf." Might even give you diabetes by reading it. Warning: This reviews contains a lot of fangirling. Gianna Marino and Christian Allister are all of the above. Some people are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. "There are plenty of women who could make you happier, Christian." There is a reason why christiangianna only have one book, because perfection has already been achieved. Reading their book will always give me the greatest high, no drug could ever achieve. ![]() ☆⋅⋆ ─── x re-read 2023: infinity times infinity stars □Ĭhristian and Gianna are the definition of romance. ![]() |
