The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl by Issa Rae

4.0

This is a book that I read in a day. What I enjoyed about the book is that it really felt like things I hear myself say and don't often get to share with others for the sake of being anymore of the "odd one" than I already. So for me was it groundbreaking? No, but the fact that I was able to completely identify with someone who is from a completly different heritage, different familial structure, and has all of my respect and admiration for her work, is a rewarding experience. I only wish that it had been written when I was a 6th grader and I had to choose a book to steal from my mother's bookshelf because I think it would have paired nicely with the Pearl Cleage and Connie Briscoe novels that were taken. :)
