5.0

This book chronicles the pain of growing up in a dysfunctional country and having to start life abroad, in countries that'll never truly belong to you. It is funny, heartbreaking and gripping. This was my second time reading the book and I fell in love with the characters all over again. NoViolet Bulawayo, you will always be famous.
