funny lighthearted tense fast-paced

I'm white, so it's not my place to rate a book about Black experiences!! (I did enjoy it tho)

5.0

My only beef with this book was the constant references to "we told that story in the first book". I have read the first book. I loved it. But that was two years ago, and I didn't reread the first book before reading this one, because I didn't think I had to. It doesn't actually harm the quality of the book or impact the clarity of the stories; I just personally found it a little annoying.

But anyway, I had to go on an unexpected 2.5 mile walk in 90F/32C heat the other day, and I knew the only thing that could get me through it was some top-tier, A+, quality™ listening material. So I downloaded this book off of Libby, successfully trudged through the heat, and only nearly threw up from heat exhaustion once!

emotional funny informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

I have decided not to rate autobiographies and memoirs. 
I listened to the previous book and it had very upsetting stories. This volume has a larger number because it contains others’ stories both past and present. There are stories with children.

Some of these stories are very alarming including one involving a dog, child, and possible harm.
