Mean by Myriam Gurba
5.0

I don’t think I’ve ever been so uncomfortable, enraged, and yet so enthused and sometimes giggly at a memoir as dark as this one. Written in an often poetic style in fits and bursts of brutality and nostalgia— this book is going to make you FEEL. Gurba’s journey is a little too familiar but that’s what makes her story an important one to hear & remember. Her cheeky style will stay with me.
