Incredibly vulnerable and heartfelt, this memoir is highly relatable to anyone who’s ever felt the weight of familial and societal expectations. The audiobook is incredible, and you can really feel how much the decisions his family made affect him.

Usually I don't rate nonfiction but I really enjoyed this book! It was so interesting reading about Simu's past and family's story. Parts were so difficult to read but he mixes humour and serious life experiences so well. I can't wait to see what comes next for his career!
