Are We Home Yet? by Katy Massey
emotional

4.0
There's a lot packed into this account of Katy Massey's historically strained and evolving relationship with her mother, and I appreciated the different directions this book pulled me in.
We're invited to reflect with Katy on her experiences in the realms of family, identity, especially growing up mixed race, grief, body image, bullying, and mental health. It's pulled together with flowing, sometimes poetic, prose, and packaged in short, digestible chapters.
I enjoyed the jumping around in history, as well as the stories from the perspectives of both Katy and her mother.
