Lucky Girl


4.5 ⭐️

I am so glad I got to read this story. Lucky Girl is a beautiful story about a Woman from Kenya finding her own way. She navigates through college in New York, relationships, racism as an African in America, grief, and caring for a terminally ill parent. There is so much in this story. 

Though this book at some very deep topics, I thought it was handled with such grace. Soila’s bravery as so navigates her relationship with her mother at the end was inspiring. 

Thank you to @netgalley for this ARC.
