There's not much I can fault this one on ngl. It was a lot of fun of course and funny but also surprisingly a lot deeper than I thought it was going to be? A lot more conversations about race than I would've expected, but it was a welcomed surprise. There was a tiny bit that rubbed me the wrong way with some of the parenting stuff, but overall I'm really glad I read it because I was hesitant before lol.

this was a very strong memoir! kenan is a surprisingly good writer, and he has lots of wisdom and stories to share. i appreciated a lot of his thoughts on spirituality, politics, and social issues, but it made me uncomfortable how he centered social justice so much yet continuously praised dave chapelle with no caveats. that facet of this book was definitely my least favorite part.
