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.

This had been on my list awhile and picked it up because there was no wait at the library. Adunni’s Story, her-story, pulls you in from the first page. Her nonstandard English at first took me a minute to adjust to but it quickly felt familiar from when I traveled and worked in Nigeria in 2010-2013. That was just before the events in the book and I appreciated the author placed this in present day with the talk of the Presidential race and the abduction of the Chibok girls by Boko Haram. Adunni’s Story may be fictional but it is very real and happening to girls and women today. I loved Adunni’s transformation in the book and the help she gets along the way. The author still left some things unresolved which I thought was good. It’s a fast read but definitely not an easy read.
