This was such a fun book and was exactly what I was looking for. I love that it shows a funny, smart woman as the protagonist.

I also live in Missouri, so loved her Kansas City and Missouri references. I totally cracked up every time she mentioned HyVee, which is a chain of groceries stores in the Midwest and one I shop at often. I'd listened to it on audiobook and would definitely recommend it!

An unbelievable look at poverty and race in America through a stunning, powerful memoir. Audiobook is particularly stunning and for which Viola Davis won a Grammy and EGOT-ed.
