She demands that we all do better in a world where things are quickly going downhill. Luvvie Ajayi’s book is aptly titled “I’m Judging You”.
I listened to the audiobook, which Luvvie read herself, and I must say that she brings a unique flavour to topics she discusses, and I’m glad that she didn’t have some monotonous narrator read her words. Luvvie is equally hilarious and insightful as she talks about her thoughts on everything – from what makes a good friend to rape culture in America. What a fabulous book! I haven’t been this captivated by an audiobook in a long time. Title: I’m Judging You: The Do-Better Manual
