Well, in Issa Rae’s collection of hilarious essays, someone told her that those two are the worst combination to be had. Apparently, whoever told her that was right.

Reactions:
“I swear it is like Issa knows some of my innermost thoughts! And, with her not being afraid to share her perspective on things such as food, lotion, hair, and black leaders it allows some of us to know we aren’t alone in what goes through our brain. The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl is nothing short of brilliant.” – Tifanny Tyler

“Issa Rae relates her story as a black girl, from Senegal to Maryland, and then California. Her authenticity is refreshing. I promise you’ve never read anything like it. She details all of the things that no one ever talks about, in an off-beat, hilarious way. She discusses her awkward beginnings on the internet, admits to “catfishing” and details her coming of age experience.” – Digblues

“This book is not just for the awkward Black girl, but for anyone who enjoys culture, candid stories on growing pains, and most of all, laughing. Issa, congratulations on all your much deserved success, thank you for having the courage to be you, and for learning to embrace your authentic self, inspiring us all.” – Audrey A.R.

“A few hits, but far too many misses. Some humorous moments, along with some cringe-worthy statements. Her assessment of the various types of Black people is not to be taken seriously, I hope.” – Read-a-Lot

“I thought the book would be more of a continuation of the Awkward Black Girl series. However, the book was still quite funny and seemed to echo many if the realities that awkward and/or black people face every day. A quick enjoyable read that offers insight into the author.” – Kyle Wright
