We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo

4.0

I was on a very "meh" streak, and this broke it wide open. It's got beautiful language, fresh metaphors, and some very memorable storytelling before the protagonist gets to America. (When she gets to America, it's not as interesting, primarily because I live there. I really liked traveling to Africa. Also, she's rather abruptly in America without a lot of explanation.)
