I don't really have anything bad to say about this book. It was a light, fun, easy YA read and I enjoyed my time with it. I felt as though I really got to understand a bit about what first generation kids go through, in trying to meet the expectations of their parents, while growing up Western, and how difficult it can be to blend those two worlds. I felt like Onome did a really good job of exploring that topic in a nuanced way that did not feel heavy handed or preachy. The Skeleboy storyline was a little bit juvenile for my taste and this book definitely did feel like a true YA - sometimes YA books read in a way that makes me question WHY they are labeled as such, but this one definitely fits the bill. In reading the Author's Note, I felt a bit wrenched for Onome as she apparently struggled with melding the two worlds of the North America and Nigeria even as she wrote the book, questioning if it were "too much" one way or the other. Obviously this is a topic that hits close to home for her and I appreciate her sharing it with a wider audience. Empathy comes from having a point of reference to feel for another's experience and I think the more we share about topics that not all of us are aware of, the more we can learn to have empathy for the experiences of people like Sophie/Ada and Onome. This was a solid and well written book and I look forward to reading more of Louisa Onome's work.
