Our Traveling Shelf discussion

I'm sorry it took me so long to write this! I have no good excuse because I even finished the book last month! But anyway, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE IT!!!!!! This was such an amazing book. The characters were so incredible and had so much depth. The way that the book discusses racism was brilliant- it highlighted the micro-aggression that exists EVERYDAY and that we might even be a part of perpetuating. It really made me think about my own life as well as the experiences of my parents and feeling like I'm neither Colombian nor North American. Ifemelu is such a strong character that we get to read from who still has so many struggles, especially when it comes to her identity. This book was absolutely amazing. I felt like it was such an honest and refreshing read!
