The Thing Around Your Neck by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

medium-paced

3.5

I was honestly pretty disappointed by this book compared to other books I have read by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I think a large part of the issue was that I was expecting one story or at least interconnecting stories. Instead, although many similarities existed between characters, the stories themselves never overlapped. That being said, Adichie still tells each story beautifully and creates very deep characters and strong scenes in only a short story. I just wish a few of the short stories could have been extended into a book of overlapping stories instead.
