Anita and Me, by Meera Syal

5.0

I honestly loved this book more than I can put into words. Its absolutely perfect and captures the time so incredibly. The issues she describes so well; the realisation of racism amongst your friends, the feeling of being an outsider, being embarrassed of your parents/culture, etc is something that any person of colour can relate to so much who grew up in a white area. It's not often put into words. Absolutely hilarious but touching too all at the same time. I am so thankful for this book. Also Meena is just a fucking character, love her!
