Initial reaction: I love the message of the story. And I was really rooting for Adunni and her resilient spirit. But I had some problems with the pacing, especially towards the end. I feel like we could’ve gotten so much more out of Adunni’s character development and especially with Miss Tia’s relationship but I feel like it was paced too quickly. It made a very beautiful, liberating relationship just seem very forced and confusing. basically as soon as we transition from Ikati to Lagos, the Lagos portion just felt…off.
