With Love, Miss Americanah
by Jane Igharo
With Love, Miss Americanah is a beautiful coming-of-age story that masterfully blends humor, self-discovery, new love, and the trials of navigating grief. The character of Enore is beautifully constructed, and her doubts and waves confidence provide a great mirror for teens trying to figure out who they are in contrast to who their families or society may want them to be. Igharo also lightly explores the nuances of being a Black immigrant in a country where race is a pivotal part of our society and how the world interacts with Black youth. I loved the relationship between Enore and her little sister; it was built on trust, something akin to friendship, and encouragement that made for a wonderful story of two sisters learning how to rely on one another in a new country and new family situation. The romance that blossoms between Enore and Davi is also a highlight of this story; it was so sweet to watch them tentatively build a relationship that is healthy, earnest, real, free, fun, and deep all at the same time, as they navigated their own personal issues. Igharo weaves a lot into With Love, Miss Americanah and what we end up with is a beautifully rendered story.
