A review by bella_cavicchi
Sometimes I Trip On How Happy We Could Be by Nichole Perkins

emotional funny reflective fast-paced

4.0

This collection -- a set of essays, a memoir, memoir-essays...? -- is fantastic, blending humor and vulnerability in a broad exploration of desire. I did wish for more moments of cultural critique, but take that as a reflection of what IS included -- i.e. all so good that I wanted more!

And a related read that her writing had me recall: Tressie McMillian Cottom's piece on the Black essay. So many brilliant books within the genre that I've loved, and so many I can't wait to get to.

Great stuff.
