COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Loved it submitted by wellscai on August 25, 2017, 11:23am I grabbed this book of the express shelf and absolutely loved it. Robinson's writing style is engaging and hilarious, and I absolutely flew through the text. She is able to engage with serious topics with humor while also speaking the truth.
