This is so freaking funny. But maybe not quite as funny as the first one. Definitely do the audio.

It‘s weird to say I laughed through most of this book, but the audio version is so funny! A great way to talk about racism, privilege, & personal space. Now I need to listen to their first book.
I needed the laughter this week as my dad‘s been in the hospital, & we‘ve gotten bad news that he will most likely need a nursing home instead of returning home.
So good. Definitely go for the audio if you've got the option! Get angry, laugh your ass off, and check your privilege.
This - like its predecessor book - is worth the price of admission for the audiobook version. This volume is a bit heavier in terms of what happens - one story in particular was quite upsetting (beyond the fact that any story about racism is upsetting - you get what I‘m saying) - but Amber & Lacey are such sunshine delights.
I listened to YOU‘L NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TO LACY earlier this year and enjoyed it. This follow up is more of the same, but they‘ve widened the net for their sources. This book includes stories from family friends and will have you simultaneously laughing and gasping.
This book (and the previous one) are audiobook musts. It‘s hard to say that I liked a book about racism, but I really enjoy the way the authors tell these stories, and their banter on the audio shouldn‘t be missed.
Just not into this one. I really liked the first book, but this seems so much looser, and not in a good way. Maybe I'm misremembering, but this has a lot more irrelevant asides and interjections. The superlative format seems forced. It feels so scatter-shot that it is really hard to get into. (Also, seems a little racist that of all the places to put the sticker, they cover Amber's face...)
“Now, what is a racist? Is it just a confused person who means well but blah, blah, blah? No. A racist is a turd.”
😂 This was great. If you were a fan of their first book, as I was, you‘ll definitely want to check this out!
Yeah, Amber and Lacey are awesome! From the outset, they warn you that this is a more serious book with some very troubling racist stories, but they also have some lighter times. A little sugar with your medicine. Plus their audiobook narration adds so much! In this collection, they draw upon racist macro- and micro-aggressions that have happened to their friends and family that and out faux Guinness awards in various categories.
Sisters Amber and Lacey are back with still more racist stories. They are able to make you laugh even while wanting to scream at the people who subjected them and their love ones to the incidents described. Audio is the way to go because listening them crack each other up is enough to get me giggling.

This book is a timely read, eye opening and horrifying yet humorous. It jumps around between storytellers which broke up the flow a bit but I like how the sisters approached this serious topic with their signature humor. Fellow white people, read this. We have progressed as a society in many way but still have much work to do when it comes to racism and the treatment of BIPOC people. #bookreview #bookstagram
