Misfits: A Personal Manifesto by Michaela Coel

challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

3.5

I wish this had not just been a transcription of her speech—there are so many ideas she could have expanded on and better connected. As it is, her exploration of these moments throughout her life and the themes she uncovers and attempts to connect them with feel quick and underdeveloped. I appreciated the intro and epilogue, but there was a lot of missed potential, considering the medium, to add depth to what worked well in her speech. That being said, I still really enjoy Michaela Coel's storytelling in general and got plenty out of this.
