The pacing is a little off toward the end (at one point, it seems things progress day by day, then suddenly we're told months have passed), but it's a good time.

It's a little ambiguous (probably purposefully) whether Onyeka dislikes the scrutiny her natural hair gets or the abundance of it she has. The progression she had with her hair was portrayed naturally, and I liked the spotlight on the different hairstyles.

I might read book two as the Solari business is ramping up.
