Just Sayin': My Life In Words by Malorie Blackman

hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

Agree so strongly with so much of what Blackman says, particularly about children's access to education, representation, the arts, etc. I knew very little about her so it was really interesting to discover more about her life, particularly the insights into her writing. I've not really explored her fiction so will he picking up Noughts and Crosses soon to start dabbling! My only critique is that sometimes it was a smidge confusing being given info in a non-chronological format. Because she had spoken about her husband earlier focusing on more recent history, when she then went back in time later and discussed the start of their relationship I got confused and was like "why is she kissing this random man when she's already married?" My fault probably for working while listening to the audiobook lmao!
