I listened to the audiobook version and as a Ghanaian i was stunned at the amount of mispronunciation and supposed “accent” of Efe and her family. You would think they will put more effort to get it right. 

Anyway, this book had me frustrated at the lack of communication between Sam and Efe. It does a good job highlighting the pressure from families in Ghana on a young woman to get married and have kids and all the struggles that comes with that. 

Also what was that ending omg?? i was so annoyed at how the book ended
