A heavy read, following the many hardships of a young Nigerian girl. Her endless optimism and dream of finding her louding voice was infectious.

There are lots of triggering topics in this book, but it was fast paced and each chapter leaves you wanting to know what will happen next, hoping for a better future for little Adunni.

This book took me a while to get through but I’m glad I persevered. The narration is excellent, and I especially loved the way the narrator handled making the slimy men sound extra grimy. 

Adunni is brave, lovable, and inspiring. From the very beginning it’s hard not to root for her.
