5.0

Just a masterpiece. A dialogue between the diaspora that needs to continue. It feels like a “choose your own adventure” book where many options are possible because it very much resembles real life, except you always wind up choosing what the author writes anyway. I’m now going to devour everything she writes.

This book is not entirely my taste (hence 2.5 stars) but I would say it's a good book. I'm glad I read it. It opened me up to a new perspective.
