I really enjoyed learning more about the author who wrote two books I've read before. Super interesting and cool tbh

Ooh! Bernardine Evaristo nailed it again with this autobiography 👏🏼 Broken down into chapters on different aspects of her life, she writes brilliantly. As a fan of ‘Girl, Woman, Other’ and ‘Mr. Loverman’, I had high expectations and she did not miss 🥰
There are obviously some content warnings required for this book. As a biracial woman (coming from a working-class background) growing up in Britain, she faces many challenges and many racist people 😫
The content warnings will be included below.
There was something rather refreshing and striking about her perspective on people though. She describes some of her relationships and admits to also being a slightly shitty person, and that’s not something people can do very often (myself included)! There is so much nuance in any relationship and so reading about her experiences felt revitalising somehow 🥹
Obviously this is not related to TMD (The Mental Dominatrix) 🥲
4 out of 5 stars for me! ✨
