liked it

An interesting book of essays that are worth reading. I liked how the author explored a range of different subjects with different levels of seriousness and humour, using both popular culture and current serious events.

I definitely learnt a lot from reading this book and I would say it opened my eyes to things I had not considered before.

However some of these essays were not as impactful to me due to living in England and not America. I often had to look up people or events that were mentioned which disrupted my reading. Additionally, at times it was slightly repetitive. Overall I would recommend this book to others.

Quotes Emily Liked

“We need to stop playing Privilege or Oppression Olympics because we鈥檒l never get anywhere until we find more effective ways of talking through difference. We should be able to say, 鈥淭his is my truth,鈥� and have that truth stand without a hundred clamoring voices shouting, giving the impression that multiple truths cannot coexist.”
