You Should Sit Down for This: A Memoir about Wine, Life, and Cookies by Tamera Mowry-Housley
sunset8305's review against another edition
3.0
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.

I don’t know how I feel about this book. I like the lightheartedness but felt it was too surface-level. It was also the only book I’ve read that had 2 noticeable typos in print and that is not it.

I love Tamera Mowry as the entertainer that is humble, but speaks her mind. She is such a kind person that even when she speaks her mind, it'll feel like a warm hug. Tamera's memoir is like having a conversation with her in her kitchen as she tells her life story. She tells new stories and gives a new perspective on old stories as well. This short read was everything I like about celebrity (people in general) memoirs!
