You Should Sit Down for This: A Memoir about Wine, Life, and Cookies by Tamera Mowry-Housley

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.

I loved Sister, Sister growing up and was so excited to pick up this memoir. Unfortunately, it fell a bit flat for me. It felt very surface level throughout, and while I don't think authors should write things in their memoirs they don't want to, the lack of depth on any topic in this one made me wonder why Mowry-Housley wrote it at all. It felt much more like a generic self-help book with personal anecdotes thrown in, so if you're a fan of self-help, you might enjoy this more than I did. I will say the part where she talked about her niece was quite moving and emotional, but otherwise, it just felt like there wasn't much here.
