If you're willing to ignore the fact that the author's a terf, the book's only mid at best so...
The book had such a strong start but really peters off towards the middle and became a drag to get through at the end. Clearly Adichie is a talented author, and she definitely takes time to show off her writing and wrote a giant book that could have been so good if it got edited down. Because really... the book is this long for what? THAT ending? You're joking.
