Oh my god, I love R. Eric Thomas. Heβs hilarious, so sarcastically smart, and also kind of adorable.
There is so much humor in this book, because Thomas is hilarious. His sass, sarcasm, and sardonic personality just carry this memoir through the legit turmoil heβs been in, challenges he has faced, and his coming of age as a Black, gay, man in America.
There were so many moments of goosebumps, tears, and literal out loud laughs. He shared stories that gave insight into his relationship to his own Blackness, his gayness and how both of those things developed and changed with time.
Thomas is interesting, funny, and someone I genuinely want to spend time with. This is one of my favorite quotes from the book:
