God damn was this sad. This was quite an adventure to read. I'm no gamer, but I could appreciate this. My favorite part was the chapter on "Pioneer." I did feel like this book was a little too long and covered more perspectives than it needed, but it was quite well written. I could definitely see myself reading another book by Zevin in the future. Well done!

Adichie is such an incredible writer. This book was quite long but so interesting and well-written. The tone felt like a warm hug from a good friend. Ifemelu and Obinze are quite intelligent, relatable, and likable characters (including their flaws). They are so perfect for each other!
