PositiveUSA TodayThe maddening thing about Nick Hornby’s writing is that it is so perceptive, it reads like something you could’ve sworn you’ve thought of at some point. But of course you didn’t, because there’s no way your inner monologue is as articulate, funny, clever and sensitive as are those of Hornby’s characters ... Topics of police mistreatment of Black people and the fetishizing of people of different races are covered, but not in an in-depth way that puts Hornby\'s credibility to discuss them into question ... The story also contains plenty of wry commentary ... It\'s a gift that Hornby decided to expose his writings to the world, including the highly readable Just Like You.
