ryinwonderland 's review for:

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
2.5
challenging emotional hopeful reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Edit to add: I just found out that apparently the author is a TERF, so I just knocked a couple of points off of this review mostly to remind myself. What a shame. Good book, bad author.

A story of love, a story of race, a story of America, a story of Nigeria, a story of Blackness, a story of heartbreak, a story of tenacity, a story of self discovery. Beautifully written and carefully crafted, a peek into the lives of two complex and flawed and fascinating people as they find each other, drift apart, and come back together over several years and across continents.
