Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance

Like many, I heard of J.D. Vance when he emerged as the Republican Vice Presidential candidate for the upcoming 2024 election. When I heard he had written a memoir of his life, I wanted to get my hands on it simply just to learn more about this senator from Ohio who was now in the national spotlight.

When I started reading through his memoir, I was amazed at the things he had to endure throughout his childhood and what his daily life looked like. It was also amazing to read about the lessons he learned and how he overcame his obstacles, especially experiencing things through his eyes.

Because it’s a memoir and I don’t want to give away any of the good stuff, I will leave this review simple. A 4 ⭐️ book for me, and one that’s a little change of pace for me.
