This was supposed to go out yesterday! But I completely forgot. Never mind, it's still Book of October. We'll get another Book of the Month in November: and this is a promise. Okay, welcome, folks, to Book of the Month. It's actually so crazy the year is about to end or maybe not because people, it has been a long year. I rarely get personal on here and I'm wishing I did because at least I could launch into how crazy this year has been. Yeah.
Anyway, the book of this month is Come and Get It by Kiley Reid, the same author who wrote the masterpiece, Such a Fun Age. To say that I loved that book would be an understatement so with that inherent trust for the author, I went into this one blindly, with no knowledge whatsoever what the book was about.
At about page 15 of this book, a Black girl (the daughter of a professor) overhead her a group of white girls refer to her as “ghetto.” And she found this so hilarious, so ridiculous. I chuckled and said out loud literally, “ah I’m going to like this book.” And like it I did.
