I love everything Issa Rae!!!!

This book was the first book in my new book club. We all love Issa and really wanted to read this title. For some it wasn’t so great but for me I appreciated most of the book. My favorites were the chapter on Black women and Asian men & The Fashion chapter. I’m so much like Issa it’s crazy! I didn’t like the end I felt it could have been more but I’m a fan so I definitely enjoyed it.

Thank you!🤲🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🏆✍🏽

So many relatable stories! Thank you Issa, my awkward sister for sharing your stories!

It’s a very good read. Issa has a great sense of humor. It’s wonderful to know how she got started.

Sooooo amazing. The entire book. I promise she is my spirit animal lol❤️❤️

Amazingly brilliant.

Just when I thought I couldn’t Love Issa anymore. This is a great read!

After watching her show on YouTube and her show on HBO, I decided to purchase this book. It was a great read and A LOT of the things Issa went through in life I did as well. Thank you Issa !

Every person who has ever struggled with not fitting-in needs to read this book. Such a great read that I couldn't put it down! I am an "Awkward Black Girl" too and I always knew I was different but never realized there were others like me. Issa Rae is able to articulate the intricacies of being awkward so well that I sometimes felt like I was reading my about myself. She weaves self-deprecating humor and serious insight and inspiration so effortlessly. I'm 36 and it's taken me so many years to be comfortable in my awkwardness. Reading this book reaffirmed to me that it's okay to be awkward and it's actually even okay to be black and awkward. Can't wait to read more books from Issa Rae.
