This Will Be My Undoing: Living at the Intersection of Black, Female, and Feminist in (White) America by Morgan Jerkins
3.0
2.5
This is one of those times that I feel very uncomfortable critiquing as a white woman, but this book felt very self-indulgent. I will never understand what it is like to grow up in a black woman's body, but even books written by white women that complained this much about not finding a man in the timeline she expected, or discussing in such depth how intense an orgasm she had watching extremely exploitative porn featuring women (or frankly any gender) of *any* background would be grounds for a low review. One chapter read like three completely unrelated stories.
