Please Don't Sit on My Bed in Your Outside Clothes: Essays by Phoebe Robinson

3.0

I could do without the abbreviated words and hashtags but, apart from that, I felt very heard and validated when I read this book. She sometimes goes on rants and it reminds me of really talkative people who talk about one thing and then bring up a story from five years ago as an interlude, and I saw reviews that were annoyed by that, but, like, a vast majority of books written by celebrities or show writers or comedians are built like that.

This book isn’t for everyone. And I love that. It is written for a specific audience, specifically black females. And that’s grand. Of course, anyone can pick it up and read it but there’s content in here that is going to resonate so much deeper if you live the experience of Black females. So when I saw reviews saying they didn’t understand the book or asking who was it for…well, not you. And that’s perfectly fine.
