Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid

Damn.
Makes you think twice. Fascinating portrayal of the everyday gone awry white saviorism (I can help you! Let me share my things with you to help you! I know how best to defend you! I can make better choices/open doors for your future!) and the modern day “mammy” (She’s just part of the family!). Also, insight into a young black woman having to navigate familial, racial and social expectations after college. Author, [a:Kiley Reid|18257829|Kiley Reid|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1584271436p2/18257829.jpg] delivers much food for thought.
