I really wanted to like this book but I actually didn’t. I kept getting caught up by her blatant colorism, random name dropping (am I supposed to know these people?) and her ridiculous spending of money. Don’t like the fact that a store has a confederate flag out front? Buy the building, duh!

I’m happy that she was able to add Blackness to predominantly white spaces, but it seems she was only able to do that because of her epic wealth, which is not possible for most of us.

I really wanted to be cheering on her persistence as she became America’s first Black woman billionaire, but overall the story felt tone deaf to the world we live in today.
