Aftershocks
by Nadia Owusu
Okay, I have to preface this by saying, this may have not been the right timing of this book for me. The style and pacing didn't work well for me . . . right now.
There was so much about it that was really fascinating! Owusu tells the story of growing up as a biracial woman in an international lifestyle, as her dad worked for the UN and they relocated often. She had ties in so many places. She had really relevant and thoughtful things to observe about those places.
She also has really valuable, thoughtful ideas about identity and family. There were so many thoughts that I found valuable, but I felt like I had to push myself through it. For content, I would give it 4 stars, for my own personal motivation I would give it 2 stars. So I am going with 3 stars.
