Harry Sylvester Bird by Chinelo Okparanta

2.0

I’ve been waffling between 2 and 3 stars. This book sells itself as satire but I feel it only makes half hearted attempts at that. The concept is interesting and there is potential with the main characters’ clueless white privilege in the face of racist parents. There are moments that are great but the overall delivery is lacking. The end seemed particularly lackluster. There are much better was to spend your reading time and book budget.
