Make Your Home Among Strangers by Jennine Capó Crucet

4.0

this book made me wildly uncomfortable— perhaps because I (child of college-educated, middle-class professionals that I am) realized that my background put me squarely in company with Lizet's vapid and insensitive white roommates, and that no matter how much I believed I understood about the struggles of first-generation college students, I really would never know what it is like to be one. checking your privilege hurts sometimes. but books that make us uncomfortable are worthwhile, like this one, and I am very glad to have read it.
