Wow. Content warning: sexual assault, child abuse, and alcoholism/addiction. I am not familiar with Canadian politics so I really didn’t know much about Jagmeet Singh or his politics when picking up this book so while many Canadians might know a bit about the contents of this book, I really think it should come with content warnings. This book definitely shares a lot of vulnerabilities. A lot of what Singh and his family have gone through are things the South Asian community tries to keep quiet or under wraps. But I think many of us will connect with some if not all of Singh’s struggles. I appreciate so much in this book but one thing I wish Singh acknowledged more was how financial privilege played a role in his life. I find that memoirs tend to skim over the that bit in an attempt to sound like the author is ‘just like us.’
