"This coming-of-age story follows Ada, a young Nigerian woman, who moves to the United States for college. It’s a character study with an unusual structure — the story is told by the many “selves” that live inside her — and the writing is stunning. I love recommending this book to my friends who, without fail, always text me their favorite passages. Yes, it’s that good."
