Here for It: Or, How to Save Your Soul in America by R. Eric Thomas
5.0
What a delight it was to read this book at a time that feels pretty hopeless.
It made me laugh out loud numerous times and also had me picking my jaw off the floor with how seamlessly he could combine humor with harrowing truths about his life. Absolutely my favorite type of writing.
“I realize that this night in this church is the world that they will know, this is the world they will see as normal, this is the world they will inherit. A world made by people of all colors and sexualities and ages and faiths and gender expressions who have traveled many roads towards hope.”
