RaeAnna + A Nerdy Lifestyle
If you want to read a novel about Africa and the consequences of colonization, this is it. It humanizes a continent, issue, country and people the media have consistently dehumanized. Incredibly relatable while highlighting issues spanning the world.
A young woman's coming of age story as she grapples with working, the big city, friendship, sexuality, mental illness, and growing up female.Â
This is a book where you think you know exactly what’s going to happen from the very beginning and you spend the entire book hoping it doesn’t happen. It’s a fabulous insight into a journey and thought process no one really wants to think about.
MUST if you live in the Western Hemisphere and/or celebrate Christmas. It’s referenced for one month every year. A ton of Christmas movies are adaptations or inspired by this classic.Â
