A review by grace_muriithi
Nigeria Jones by Ibi Zoboi

3.0

I usually love Ibi Zoboi's books (ex: Americana Street and Pride), but this one...I'm not sure whether it was the way it was written or the heaviness of the topics covered in the book, but it was a struggle for me to get through this read. Also, the plot twist in the book was not as surprising to me, and then the ending felt rushed and off to me. Ultimately, this was a 3/5 stars for me. (I alternated between rooting for Nigeria, the main character, and other times internally cringing and going "girl you're embarrassing us please"...so do with that what you will.)
