You Should Sit Down for This: A Memoir about Wine, Life, and Cookies by Tamera Mowry-Housley
cindysbookcorner's review against another edition

I loved watching Sister, Sister when I was a teen (and recently rewatched it with my teens), and it's funny to realize that Tamara is around my age. I saw this book on the library shelf and grabbed it. I started it immediately and was disappointed. It's very superficial, with a few minor curse words, and the only real depth was toward the end. It also jumped around quite a bit which made it hard to follow. Several things would have made this book better: 1) depth-for example, why she and Adam broke up, not all the details, but at least the issue that caused them to break up. 2) pictures! She describes some things from her childhood and I thought "I would love to see that!"
I wanted to love this book but I don't feel like I learned much about Tamara, and ended up skimming parts toward the end.

I wish she was more vulnerable and spoke in depth about her experiences. By the end it felt very polish and meh. Like yearning for something more but hard to point out what it is exactly.

Great storytelling about her life, however, I don't think I learned anything new about Tamera. All the stories shared you have heard or can read via google. Tamera stayed true to her personality and I enjoyed the moments shared. I just wished authors will be more relatable when writing a memoir.

I wish I’d liked this more, being a big Sister, Sister fan growing up, but I found it rather rushed with little substance as it was overrun with light analogies to wine, cookies, and other things. But I think what bothered me most was the volume of spelling and grammatical errors! I couldn’t unsee them, and it was to the point that I contemplated looking up the editor to share my thoughts (I’ve refrained from going that far though).

Tamera writes as if she is eating brunch with reader and with each dish comes a story of her life. One thing I was hoping for was more Tia stories or even a story or two of Taj. Twitches was only mentioned once and there was no BTS of Sister, Sister. Besides that, I just love Tamera’s personality and enjoyed her stories.
