“Starts intimate and character-focused, tracking Ifemelu’s sharp, observational voice and Obinze’s quieter arc across two continents.

Limitations: the timeline jumps and long social digressions slow momentum, and readers looking for plot-driven pace or fewer sociopolitical reflections will find stretches that read more like argument than narrative.”
