Secrets carry the plot.

O-Kay!

Insights into the mind and gradually bracing actions of Ada/Sophie interweave with slow-moving Nigerian Wedding build-up and her recursive law school withdrawal.

The Cultural Appropriation Drama competition was both adroitly handled and enlightening, while the back and forth choices between best boy Tayo and (maybe gay?) Justin felt like real high school drama.

Even with Ada's many complications, believing that she would be TWICE AS DUMB
by: 1. Inviting Sam to Genny's Wedding without her permission and
2. Lying to him about that invitation was hard to believe Further complicating the plot is her stupidity in risking ruining Genny's Wedding when there was no reason at all to set up her parents with the son they had not seen for six years.

At the conclusion of TWICE, we still don't know why Sam never contacted Ada after his parents threw him out. And why, in six years, did Sam not simply get a STARBUCKS job and pay his parents back with a simple explanation for his betrayal of their $...?
And why did neither he nor Genny did not simply lift the burden of the mystery from Ada with a simple message...?
