Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
4.75
challenging emotional

 This book took me a lot longer than I anticipated to finish, but I’m really glad I stuck with it. It was a refreshing and eye-opening book and had a lot of really beautiful and poignant observations about America. That was one of the most interesting parts, reading about America from the perspective of a non-American. I loved the storytelling and the commentary, with really great characters in Ifemelu and Obinze. Very enjoyable, even if it wasn’t very fast paced.
