I laughed with Edie and I wanted to yell at her at the same time. Add on the additional pressures that being a black woman in her twenties brings and (to be blunt) it’s f**king hard! Edie didn’t know who she was, what she was worth and felt like she was consistently failing at life. One thing I definitely took away from this book is that I really do not miss my twenties. I am not averse to feeling uncomfortable when reading a book and this book did just that. It’s raw yet funny and I felt like I could feel every emotion Edie was feeling through the words. Well this book certainly slapped me in the face and caught my attention right from the beginning. He and his wife have an agreement regarding the openness of their marriage and therefore Edie is thrown into their suburban life. She meets a middle aged white man who just to happens to be married with an adopted daughter. She’s messing up her professional life and her private life. The office in which she works employs predominantly white people and she’s hanging on to the job by the skin of her teeth whilst sleeping with her co-workers. Edie is in her early twenties, struggling and lonely.
