You Should Sit Down for This: A Memoir about Wine, Life, and Cookies by Tamera Mowry-Housley

medium-paced

2.0

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.
