There's a place in this book where the author insinuates that you can only lose your virginity (which is not a real thing anyway) with a person of the opposite sex.

I don't know if that part was just rushed, but just wanted to point that out because I don't agree with that. Adichie has had lgbtqia+ portrayals in her works, and so I think it was meant to be a question of how women are suppose to stay virgins to be "good" and men are supposed to get around to be "cool" if homophilia is wrong?
