The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl by Issa Rae
4.0
A Worthwhile Read
I’ve been an Issa Rae stan ever since I first heard about her. After reading this book? I’m damn near ready to park outside her house and be like “BE MY BEST FRIEND”. Lol. Craziness, aside, I really enjoyed this book.
As an overly awkward black girl myself, it was nice to read through these essays and have “oh snap I’m not alone” moments.
I may not have grown in America, but leaving the comfort of my primary school in Zimbabwe, and moving to the madness of Joburg where rubbers did not mean erasers and cliques were everything, I was able to identify with a lot of things Issa Rae shared about her life. I’ll definitely reread this book and keep it for days where I forget about the awesomeness that is my awkward black girlness.
