You'll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey: Crazy Stories about Racism by Amber Ruffin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I listened to the audio book version and the two authors share various stories and anecdotes from their past. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was extremely funny at times and yet also absolutely awful, realizing the crushing racism that these women face every single day, from small well meaning but horribly misguided comments to downright ugly and awful statements that are hurled at these women on a daily basis. The audio book included running commentary describing any picture that was included in the print copy that was also quite humorous. Reading this book felt like sitting at happy hour with some girlfriends, laughing and swapping stories, but sadly all of these stories are about the racism that BIPOC face every single day in this country. I would rate this book as 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
