The Family Law by Benjamin Law
4.0
I thought I was reading this book for 3 weeks but turns out it was only a week ????? I was only reading it on my commute + breaks at work as I didn't feel like reading at night.
If you want to read a biography (is that would this would be considered as? memoir?) that's laugh out loud while on public transport, makes you feel emotion and takes a look into growing up in QLD, as a chinese family then this is your book.
Law has been probably one of my favourite writers since Frankie Mag (actually his was the first I read, and was disappointed when he wasn't featured) and this book doesn't deter this at all. It's full of funny quotes, anecdotes and stories while all the reason being relatable (well as relatable as I could find it as a white woman) growing up in Australia.
The best character within this whole book is Jenny - his mother. She's my ultimate hero. Witty, funny and full of sass - I guess that's why Law turned out the way he did.
