This was a great read. I loved learning a little more about Nigerian culture and then seeing American and British culture from an African perspective. It challenged my views on race throughout the book, and learnt even more about white privilege.
I really enjoyed seeing the two main characters grow and loved there deep connection.
I’ve read a few books this year where race is a main theme and it’s been eye opening. Thank you for opening my eyes to things that I haven’t see before.

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.
