This is not science fiction and nothing you say can convince me otherwise. HOWEVER, I did really like it as a contemporary fiction novel about the main character, a disabled Nigerian American writer who struggles with family dynamics and also dealing with her own fame after writing a science fiction novel. There are snippets from the science fiction novel interspersed and that is also enjoyable. 

Ending was very abrupt and left me with a little of a, what was that feeling, though.
