Book Review: You’ll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey by Amber Ruffin and Lacey Lamar

Genre: Nonfiction Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I don’t always review the nonfiction books I read, as I think what an author has to say about their life is more important than anything I can say about their book, but I thoroughly enjoyed You’ll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey by Amber Ruffin and Lacey Lamar!

Ruffin and Lamar share stories of racism, mostly those experienced by the latter. They weave in a ton of humor, adding a sense of lightheartedness to an otherwise heavy topic. I appreciated their authenticity. Sometimes the stories were difficult to read, but I think that made them all the more important. Overall, the two authors delivered a hilarious spin on a serious experience. This is definitely a book I think everyone should read!
