This was one of, if not The best memoir I’ve ever read. It’s filled with resilience, curiosity, humor, and beauty. Trevor’s story is so unique and I learned so much about the apartheid, growing up half white/half Black and the complexities of crime and poverty, and even love. With every single chapter I laughed out loud, cried, and thought “that’s so true! i never thought of it like that!” Trevor’s mom is a badass; she’s so inspiring and I want to be her best friend. I’m also incredibly grateful I got to learn about her story through’s Trevor’s particular perspective; he’s so insightful and intuitive. This story ends so early in his life that I hope he one day give’s us another book where he connects his upbringing in South Africa to his now successful career.
