Home Is Not a Country by Safia Elhillo

This reminded me a lot of Black Girl Unlimited, in that I appreciate the protagonist of color's story, but I am not a fan of the magical realism. This was short and I didn't really feel like I was invested in the characters, even though I was invested somewhat in their story.
There were also a lot of time jumps that made the story more confusing than it should have been. Nima learning to love herself is important, but this was too convoluted to me. I really did appreciate the cultural aspects, but not the actual book.
