i really really liked this one!! again, the way that adichie writes about characters is so real and so raw and the experience of race in predominantly white institutions is something that was so honest and so real and so necessary!! this book made me smile and made my heart ache when necessary and reminded me how much i love love (sidenote: the tenderness with which such impassioned emotion is spoken about is both so gentle and so moving that i genuinely had to take a second)
