In general, I really liked this book! I thought it was so interesting to learn more history about my school in the 1960s — Hunter mentions Dr. Best, a professor from the Classics Department, and Dean William Tate, the Dean of Students who Tate Student Center is named after. It was also really cool to read a coming-of-age story about Charlayne Hunter, someone who I didn’t know much about previously.

In her story, she talks a lot about the different places she lives in as a child because her dad was in the military, she talks about how she comes to love journalism to choose that as her career path, she talks about her high school experience, she praises the teachers who really supported her throughout school, and she talks a lot about Hamilton Holmes, the first Black male student at UGA.
