A review by arirose
Notes from a Young Black Chef by Kwame Onwuachi
4.0
I still feel weird reviewing nonfictions & memoirs, but I'm trying to get over that fear. So they're 3-5 stars from now on, no less than 3 lol This one was pretty good, pretty alright at times, so a nice middle grade of 4 stars.
There were times where I wasn't really vibing with the writing. Especially in the beginning it felt amateurish. But as we continued on, the style either grew on me or didn't bother me anymore. Overall, I didn't really connect with the memoir but that's not a bad thing. I still found it very inspiring how Kwame was so hopeful even after such a devastating failure (which arguably was the fault of society, at least to some degree). It just all seemed to end so suddenly though. Not sure if Kwame should have given more time before writing the memoir, or what exactly.
