I love Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s writing!! It feels very particular and individual to the character, but it is through these everyday, personal details that the wider social commentary is explored. Very honest and unafraid. I enjoyed how Ifemelu’s and Obinze’s stories were compared and woven together.
