I picked this up to try to fill the void after “Insecure” ended. There are a few good chapters but it was generally “just okay.” I still think Issa Rae is super talented, but maybe this wasn’t the right book or was written prematurely (it reflects a young perspective on her life).
I listened to this book (read by author) and I enjoyed it. It isn't super funny, but it has some funny lines and stories. It is more the story of how Issa Rae got to where she is, and how she had a slightly unusual upbringing with a Senegalese dad who lived and worked in a different state.
Super quick and enjoyable.

I started watching Insecure during quarantine and wanted to know more about Issa Rae. I really loved this book! Her background is really interesting and she’s so funny.
The usual shallow-ish, funny-ish celeb autobio. Cute and amusing except the parts where it gets too "boys." But 10+ years later, I'm still not buying that Issa is any paragon (or any particular above average) amount of "awkward."
