I hate how I almost hated this book because of the looming happy ending, and how I was relieved when that didn’t seem likely, only for the actual ending to ruin me

Most of the novel I throughly enjoyed especially the disconnect between African-Americans and American Africans and the challenges faced when being members of both groups. The main character’s development I enjoyed but I was disappointed by the novel’s end. Still, I understand why it’s been so praised.
