I thought this memoir was a really great personal account on what it was like for Trevor to grow up in post-apartheid South Africa. It was a really interesting combination of laughs at the trials of adolescence along with the ugly truth of systematic oppression. I thought he offered some really thoughtful insight based on his personal experiences, but my favorite thing overall was hearing him talk about his mom throughout.
