A fantastic book about culture shock, racism, family, love, and just being human. Nigerian Ifemelu comes to America to study and "becomes" Black. Never having been described by her race before, it's an adjustment in racist America. She struggles with making it and then begins a blog about being a non-American Black in America. I'm not sure what I expected when I started this book but I loved it from page 1. So well-written and just effortless to read. I read the ebook so was not really aware of the length as some have mentioned but it could have gone on for many more pages and I would not complain. One of my best reads this year.
