I sat on my review of this one for a long time because I wasn't really sure what to say about it, and I'm still not totally sure to be honest.

I think maybe I would've liked it more if the author had put even more of her personal story in the book? Maybe? It said a lot of great stuff, but it's also almost all stuff I've heard before. I did like the Chicago focus since I am now living in Chicago again. But otherwise I'm not sure what I'll take away from this one.

I appreciate that this is not a 101 book about how not to be racist. There were some helpful history lessons, and I like how open the author is about her experiences. It still felt a bit basic, as most of what was in the book wasn't new information to me. Still, I'm sure this is great for someone else.
