This book is short but challenging to read at least at first. It is written in a stream of consciousness style and sometimes you aren't what is happening or when. But the writing is beautiful. The structure sometimes feels like poetry and it didn't always work for me. 

Natasha Brown tackles big topics such as race, class, and the myth of meritocracy. It's amazing how much ground is covered in this short book. 

Definitely recommend it if you want something short but challenging.
