Thicker Than Water: A Memoir by Kerry Washington
3.0
I am a Kerry fan but I expected a lot more from this Memoir. It started very strong, but went rather flat for me. If you are looking for a tell-all memoir this is NOT it. This is about Kerry’s rise in her craft and acknowledging an awkwardness she has always felt between herself and her parents.
Apart from her relationship with her parents, I don’t feel Kerry let me in enough. I wanted rawness and transparency, however it was too neat and tidy for me. She does touch on her wedding day but there are not many details about her becoming a mother or wife. She guards/protects her husband and kids and she has every right to do so, but I personally like when people discuss their highs and lows of motherhood and marriage whilst navigating a life in the public eye.
I felt there was more tea to her parent’s lives than hers. I was engrossed by her parent’s stories. They are interesting people!
