A review by sakisreads
The Thing Around Your Neck, by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

dark emotional tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

This is maybe the first Chimamanda Adichie collection I didn’t fully love. It was still striking and the descriptions of Nigeria and the US were stunning (as always), but I just didn’t feel as much connection to the stories as I usually night to her stories. I did like ‘The Arrangers of Marriage’, that was probably one of my favourites 🥲
