I feel that Imfelu's reflections on race in america was interesting but I just didn't like how superior she felt to everyone else and how she regarded her view as the only correct or only valid view. I definitely feel that Ifemlu was a self insert of Ngozi Adichie. Also I wish we spent more time with Obinze
