Here are the best books I read this year—some of them are new reads that came out in 2018, and some are a wee bit older, but they all made my year better.

America Ferrara’s American Like Me is a collection of essays by America and her (celeb) friends on their personal experiences of “life between cultures.”

You know these American Like Me contributors as actors, comedians, athletes, politicians, artists, and writers, but can you recognize them as children?

Check out our official September picks, and get reading! 

America Ferrera’s American Like Me includes essays from Lin-Manuel Miranda, Roxane Gay, Michelle Kwan, and more!
