I didn’t think I could love Kerry Washington more until I read this! Definitely consider content warnings before reading. This was so powerful. I will be thinking about aspects of it for a while.

Really enjoyed this memoir. There’s something calming about Kerry’s voice and hearing her narrate her story was soothing. I’ve always liked her as a performer but gained more respect and appreciation for her as a person after this memoir. I personally wasn’t looking for juicy gossip bits about her life, so wasn’t disappointed. I knocked off half a star because I’m not sure I’d reread this one, but that’s fine.
