"This is a super engaging page-turner, but it also has some really powerful things to say about race, privilege, and being an adult."

Child and Adult Humor
The humor in this is great...something for all ages. While some of the technology terms may baffle the older crowd, the adult humor will make you LOL while going right over the kids' heads. It's also got great lessons about being yourself and not being a bully which are important themes today.

Not the best memoir I've read
This is a memoir about the author growing up in a working class family in Glasgow. I read this as part of my dissertation on memoir but was deeply disappointed. The childhood language and the adult language are disjointed, the transitions from the adult self and the child self are awkward and the story (for me) was flat. That's not to say its a terrible book. Some of the memories are sweet, vivid and well put together.
