    • Elliot Page’s courageous tale of self-discovery and battle against prejudice
    • The global best-selling account of the life of Elliot Page. Following the success of the 2007 movie Juno, in which he starred alongside Michael Cera, it appeared that all of Elliot’s dreams were coming true. But beneath the glamorous facade of Hollywood, Elliot was struggling with the repression of his queer identity. For Elliot, acting was no longer an escape, and with fame came harsh criticism and abuse that made it a nightmare to express his true self. This listen, narrated by Elliot himself, offers a captivating and deeply moving insight into the challenges of self-acceptance in the 21st century. It’s a poignant, inspiring, and essential listen that helps us to understand what it truly means to be human.

    • The half-true, half-biography of singer, James Blunt
    • Loosely based on a Made-Up Story, a biography that would not pass a polygraph. James Blunt narrates an absurdly exaggerated version of his journey, from unconventional childhood to military service and controversial musical success. The ‘You’re Beautiful’ artist lets us see a very different side to him through his uniquely hilarious angle on storytelling. One thing is for sure, this is not your stereotypical popstar memoir. One listener described the listen as 'hilarious to the extreme, brilliantly told stories of a mad existence. Would recommend this book to everyone, fan or not.' Did James’s mother really email the future prime minister to defend her son? What does James Blunt know about running a male escort agency? You’re sure to love this eccentrically funny tale as you laugh along and question what on earth can actually be true…
