I've Been Meaning to Tell You: A Letter to My Daughter by David Chariandy

4.0

In the vein of Ta-Nehisi Coates (both writers were inspired by the same James Baldwin essay), Chariandy writes a letter about race, identity, and belonging to his 13-year-old daughter. It's a very sweet, tender book that while reading feels almost like you've stumbled upon something too personal for outside eyes, like you're trespassing. Many beautiful loving words here. I'd probably recommend the print rather than the audiobook. I found Chariandy's narration too slow and overenuciated.
