Hat mich tief beeindruckt und ein must-read für weiße Männer. Als weiße Frau konnte ich teilweise relaten, aber es war eine sehr unbequeme Erfahrung so eine allumfassende Schilderung vom durchdringenden Rassismus nur für ein paar Seiten auszuhalten. 
So scharf und zielgerichtete geschrieben - wow.

4.5

I needed something to desperately get me out of a reading slump and this was a recommended read. I am SO glad I read it 👏🏼

A Black British woman navigates the white world around her and my oh my, it’s not a pleasant place to be 🙄 I highlighted so many quotes from this book, one of which was:
‘Best case: those children grow up, assimilate, get jobs and pour money into a government that forever tells them they are not British. This is not home.’

How Natasha Brown managed to capture SO MANY EXPERIENCES (and nuances) into a 112 page novel I will never know. I thoroughly appreciated it though 🫠

4.5 out of 5 stars from me, thank you ✨

Interesting premise and a short read. I feel like it would have been easier to follow if I read it instead of listened to the audiobook
