Allow Me to Introduce Myself by Onyi Nwabineli
DID NOT FINISH: 16%

I really wanted to like this book because the premise was so interesting and Aṅụrị is a very interesting character, but I'm just not getting on with the writing. On an individual sentence level, the writing is good but a lot of the time I feel like passages are almost over-written and it has the effect that it drags the pace down of what is already a relatively slow book.
