The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl by Issa Rae

4.0

This memoir was a perfect audiobook choice for a long car drive. Issa Rae wasn’t really on my radar until after the success of Insecure. I’d heard about the Awkward Black Girl, but I didn’t invest time into the series or book. I realize now what a mistake that was. As a fellow ABG, I saw myself within many of Issa’s stories. I feel validated by her insights and honored by her honesty. My one wish is that I had a better understanding of her timeline and the friends in her life. The overwhelming amount of times and places was hard to keep track of; however, she did warn us in the introduction to “deal with it.”
