Americanah

A good book, and I'm looking forward to reading more of her work. For me, this was an ambitious novel and tried to take on too many things. It was really long, and my favorite parts and characters were glossed over despite the length (like Dike and Obinze.) I also struggled with not really knowing Ifemelu. For as long as the book is, I don't feel close to her, but maybe that's because she's most often observing and commenting.

It could have been half as long with half the themes and it would be stellar.
