I Am These Truths: A Memoir of Identity, Justice, and Living Between Worlds by Sunny Hostin

3.0

My friend gifted me this book because he watches the View religiously and absolutely adores Sunny. He said I could be inspired by her since we have some things in common (i.e., being mixed latina women and having lived in DC). I have seen clips here and there but was not too familiar with her before I read this book.

Often, the writing felt corny and a bit forced. I’m not sure if she used a ghostwriter or not, but that’s how the book read. However, I appreciated how honest she was about her personal struggles and how much detail she gave about her work as a prosecutor. She also spilled the tea when it came to working in media. I thought the lessons she learned from her experiences gave me new ways to think about things and were very inspiring. Her book definitely made a me fan but not sure if I would read her fiction works if the writing is similar.
