An interesting memoir about Akwaeke's journey to find themselves. A series of letters to various people in her life tells their story about acceptance and coming to terms with their multiplicity. It's a gorgeous addition to their other works, especially to show how personal Freshwater is to them.

Theyre definitely a genius. Theyre also, I suspect, very difficult to be around.
