Reviews with content warning for Sexual assault - Thicker Than Water: A Memoir

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.

I really liked learning more about Kerry Washington. I like her as an actress and love how she keeps her children out of the limelight. But this is my absolute last actor turned author memoir. It’s an over saturated genre and I’m over it.

This did everything you could hope for from a memoir, and was heavy and emotional and uplifting and lovely. Full review to come!This did everything you could hope for from a memoir, and was heavy and emotional and uplifting and lovely. I really enjoyed my read—hearing the book in Kerry’s own voice was a fantastic and immersive experience, and I thought she was incredibly open and vulnerable with all that she shared. If you enjoy memoirs and/or are a fan of Kerry, I definitely recommend picking this one up!
