My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Writer and actor Michaela Coel lays her life bare in so many ways through her work. Ways that seem scary, dangerous and difficult, but she's fierce enough to reveal what most would hide from the light.
Misfits is the text of a lecture she gave in 2018. In it, she cracks herself open to share thoughts on individuality, not fitting in, and doing what you can to make things better as you go. It's honest and powerful and kinda badass, just like she is.
This book is like a mini memoir, and it was both satisfying and left me wanting a full-fledged memoir from Coel at some point.
Video of this lecture is available online and comes in at just under an hour.

"What a brilliant thing, to discover we’ve been wrong about some things, what a brilliant thing it is to grow."If you love talking about books, please follow or friend me on Goodreads. Let's be book buddies!
