I wanted to like this more than I actually did. I just kept getting lost and couldn't follow the organization well. And I just didn't always agree with her thinking. But it was interesting.

"Birds of a feather flock together" All my life I have used this phrase in terms of personality. As in like-minded people will stick together but seeing as the author used it for skin colour in a racist manner is astounding. It makes perfect sense, why didn't I think of this earlier? This book has opened my eyes to so many new terminologies it is marvellous. However, I found this book a bit boring. It felt like being in a class reading a textbook I didn't want to read. Not that the information wasn't meaningful but it was written in a nun engaging sort of way.

Reading Trouble

This was a not-so-great book to be honest.

It sounded good, but ended up being a dry memoir.

Reminded me a bit of [b:Crying in H Mart|54814676|Crying in H Mart|Michelle Zauner|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1601937850l/54814676._SX50_.jpg|68668937].

Would not recommend.

2.4/5

There are moments of real insight and interest in this book. But there are moments when it’s jumbled and overwrought (pouring out the bottle of wine as honoring indigenous peoples? I mean no). What really left me behind was the fairy sighting during the ancestral workshop.
