We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo

5.0

---

This book was so good! It starts out with the main character Darling in Zimbabwe. She eventually goes to America and is torn between her past life and her new life. She realizes being in America isn’t all that great either. Near the end my favorite quote is when Chipo says “no matter where you go there’s suffering everywhere. It really shows the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
