A review by candelibri
Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
slow-paced

Geez this book did not age well.
Thank god for audiobooks bc oof this was a slog. The only reason I finished it was bc I was literally in the hospital and had nothing else to do.
I have to come back a write a proper review but I had been dreading reading this book ever since becoming familiar with the author and the writing did not improve my opinions. Needless to say, the author’s “critiques” on numerous issues did not impress me and there are plenty of other authors I’d suggest reading instead - Audre Lorde, bell hooks, etc.
This just wasn’t it for me.
