    I’m so glad I picked this up—it gave such an insightful look into growing up under apartheid in South Africa and the years after. Trevor Noah does an incredible job balancing heavy topics like racism, classism, sexism, poverty, and domestic abuse with humor. It’s a quick read, often funny and lighthearted, but still carries so much weight. The struggles Trevor and his family faced are on a scale that’s hard to fully grasp. It left me with a deep respect for what they went through and what they made of it. The real standout for me, though, was his mom. Learning about her background, everything she went through, and the strength and resilience she showed was incredibly moving. I really admired how she always tried to show Trevor the possibilities beyond their circumstances.
