Wish I had known the author was a TERF before I listened to the entire audiobook.

Overall the book was fine, if needlessly drawn out. I think I would have enjoyed more as a collection of essays as the most interesting parts were Ifemelu's blog posts. Beyond that Ifemelu and Obinze came across as wholly unlikeable people.

Despite my lukewarm enjoyment of this book I simply can't recommend it due to the Adichie's opinion on trans people.
