Wow!! Just finished this book, and it was absolutely amazing. I listened to the audiobook while reading, and having Trevor Noah narrate his own story brought it to life in such a powerful way. He gives a raw, honest glimpse into his life growing up in South Africa towards the end of apartheid. I knew a little about the topic, but hearing about colorism and systemic injustice from his perspective opened my eyes in a way I didn’t expect. And can we talk about his mom?! She’s hilarious, strong, and had me laughing out loud more than once. This memoir is both heartbreaking and beautiful. One of the best I’ve read, and one I’ll be recommending to everyone.
