Had to read this for work and found it pretty fast and light. As an FGLI student who graduated in ‘22, I found myself so reflected in these stories I was taken aback. I think now that I'm removed from college life after a few years, and working in higher education, I loved how this book was so honest about our shared struggle and our uncommon ground. The FGLI experience is so unique and so shared, so varied and so similar. I thought this was compassionate in all the ways I needed.
