I've just started reading this book and already the opening pages have been suffused with so much emotional, quirky meaning that makes me think of myself and my life and my choices.
Am I ready to be this introspective?

I've been reading this memoir for a several months. I start the book, get really angry, then stop. I am determined to finish it. It's just hard to stomach what I'm reading.

We'll see. The narrator seems a bit obnoxious, like the guy who knows he's being inappropriate and covers by claiming "I'm just asking questions" or by "playing devil's advocate".
I'm already skeptical of his side of the story.

There's an Alice in Wonderland aspect to this book. The narrator keeps running into these strange characters who astound and amaze him. While he's not American, it's just Mississippi, and it's not his first time there. 🤷🏾♀️

The College Board is raking in cash as it promotes its AP exam among low-income students, many of whom are failing it
