4.25

This is an engaging set of essays from an author that makes me wish she gets every opportunity she dreams of—that place in the writer's room of a TV show, romantic love...to be honest, after reading this book, I feel like she deserves a starring role in a romantic comedy like the ones she loves to watch. Keah Brown is so relatable, funny, honest, humble. This essay collection, spanning topics ranging from music and movies to internalized ableism and suicidal ideation, is a treat. Read it.

This is a book of essays, and there were some that I just didn't get into as much. However, I thought Keah had some really brilliant insights around rest, self-acceptance, and jealousy. I really related to some of the things she said about accepting herself and her limitations as a disabled person. I'm also disabled, although my disability is not the same as hers. She also had some really important things to say about how race intersects with disability. Overall, she has some really amazing insights, and this book is definitely worth reading.

A lot of this was social justice and disability justice 101. The essays were ok, but I think I would have liked them more if I were younger. I appreciate the work that went into this book and the messages within it, however.
