sbdriscoll 's review for:

We Are Not Like Them by Christine Pride, Jo Piazza
4.0

I had heard @jopiazzaauthor and @cpride on a couple podcasts recently (@marriageandmartinis & @ttfapodcast) and couldn’t wait to read this book. Especially amidst recent events, this was a tough but eye-opening read.

The story is one told from alternating perspectives - two women in an interracial friendship who, until a heartbreaking tragedy, have never really talked about race across decades of their relationship.

We Are Not Like Them addressed complex topics through the lens of an enduring friendship. I enjoyed this book (read it in one day!) and would recommend it to anyone looking for a thoughtful read.

I picked this up on a trip in Portland at the infamous @powellsbooks
