Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
3.0
3.7
I really enjoyed this book. Let’s start with the bad. Some of the side characters were indistinguishable from each other and I didn’t care for most of them. I was a bit underwhelmed but I do think that is my own fault. I have been a fan of Adichie’s “We should all be feminist” and have watched many of her talks, so I had very high expectations which I don’t think this book would’ve ever met.
Imfemelu is a fantastic and refreshing character! The commentary on race and immigration was also very very interesting and something I have never read about before. I feel much more woke after reading this. Also I would 100% recommend this to anyone. I am excited to read more of Adichie’s fiction.
