Black White and Jewish: Autobiography of a Shifting Self by Rebecca Walker

4.0

this book was very real. she doesn't hold back on intimate details and i'm ok with that. i mean, there were parts and while i was reading i was thinking, "omg. her mom is gonna read this." or "omg. her (insert family member here) is gonna read this." i'm honestly not sure if i could have been as open as she was about some things. i really enjoyed the book. i found myself frustrated with her parents at different times because, in my opinion, they did some jacked up stuff. the only thing i didn't really like was that it seemed to end rather abruptly to me. there was lots of detail throughout childhood but then when you get to about older high school age, all of a sudden she's an adult and it's ending. i would have liked it if it elaborated more on the older teen and young adult to whatever age she was at the time of writing.
