“I'm chasing you. I'm going to chase you until you give this a chance.”
I feel like this book covers similar topics to Home Fire, and does them better. I found myself relating to the discussions around race and privilege a lot. The writing style is easy to read, and once you get into this book, you really get invested in all the characters and side characters and their journeys through navigating life in America, UK and Nigeria. It's an interesting book.
Moderate: Racism, Sexual content, and Suicide attempt
Minor: Sexual assault
