I picked this up on a whim and it was such an unexpectedly good book. It's about a biracial girl who goes on a self discovery journey while in Nigeria for her wealthy father's funeral. I read this as an audiobook and the narrator really made the characters come alive. I love the representation of Nigerian culture and lifestyle. As well as tackling some cultural and political issues as well. Overall a book I liked a lot but it felt like something was missing.
