Iets te vieren by Anne van Veen

Om eerlijk te zijn wilde ik dit boek alleen maar lezen omdat het geschreven is door Anne van Veen, die ik met veel plezier volg op insta. Ik weet niet wat ik van dit boek verwachtte, maar het was niet dat in ieder geval. Halverwege bedacht ik me dat het waarschijnlijk niet beter ging worden en alles is nog zo vaag? Ofwel struggle ik mezelf door de tweede helft van het boek, of ik leg hem aan de kant. De keuze is gemaakt.

This is a book about humanity that gives you hope!
I did have some doubts sometimes about the white, male perspective the author gives, because I feel like some of the things he says are not as easy for someone of colour, disabled, woman or in any other way not privileged.
It's also interesting to read that it's written before the pandemic!
