Eternity was a student at Western University in my hometown city of London, Ontario from 2010 to 2014. A university that I myself attended for my MLIS program from 2014-2017. This is the story of her experiences attending the university as a Black woman. It's a story of campus life, race, and coming of age from teenager to adult, just as the title says.

Eternity's story had me hooked from the very beginning. Her prose is very engaging. She also narrates the audiobook herself, which is the icing on the cake for this memoir. It makes her story that much more impactful for the reader. The first few chapters left me floored. I felt ashamed to live in London. I felt empathy for Eternity. I felt anger for the encounters she had with her students. I should note that Eternity expresses that her experiences could be about any Canadian college or university in any city. But hearing her talk about my City in the manner that she did - that hit home and that will stick with me for a long time. My eyes have been opened.

Eternity does go into detail about her experiences. She discusses race, rape culture, and shares her personal stories of romantic relationships gone wrong. Trigger Warnings for sexual and verbal assault.

I highly recommend this book for any reader who has attended a college or university in Canada, especially if that university was Western. But really, any reader any where should give this book a listen or a read.
