emotional reflective

4.0

Overall, this was a neat memoir about her experience becoming paralyzed and how it impacted her writing. It was beautifully written. However, some parts were a bit rushed. In particular, I would have loved to see more of the last part expanded, when she was talking about African futurism and how going to Nigeria impacted her writing. But I'm glad I picked it up and hearing about her background makes me more excited to read more of her books!
