My Time Among the Whites: Notes from an Unfinished Education by Jennine Capó Crucet

4.0

I have yet to read Jennine’s fiction, but put this book on my list after I saw an article about students burning this book after a campus visit. She is a talented writer and shares her perspective on being Cuban both in Miami and Nebraska. Overall the book was quick and thought provoking. There were just several times in the first half where I felt the stories could have been expounded upon more. Sometimes it felt like stories were glossed over but morals and messages were attributed to them that could have been inferred if she just dove in a little more. But I did understand that there were some stories that she just wasn’t ready to tell yet.
