At seventeen-years-old, Adanna Nkwachi feels pressure in many areas of her life. Her parents have high expectations of her schooling. Her fellow debate team members rely on her to win. Her cousin needs help with her over-the-top Nigerian wedding to a celebrity. Her love life is beyond confusing. To top all of this off, her brother left home years ago with no explanation and since then she has felt extra pressure to please her parents. But what does dealing with all of this cost Adanna?
"My name at school is Sophie. My name at home is Adanna. Everyone at school calls me Sophie, my middle name, and whenever I hear it, it's my trigger to put away the Skeleboy and brazen Afrobeats playlists, to stop slipping in and out of pidgin English, and turn on my white voice."
TWICE AS PERFECT is a heartfelt coming-of-age story that explores what it means to grow up in two worlds and how to find a sense of self. The title fits perfectly with the theme of the book which was well developed. Louisa Onome has created characters that are hard not to empathize with, despite them being unlikeable at times. The Nigerian culture is wonderfully conveyed, including snippets of pidgin dialogue interspersed throughout the book. I found this to be a very satisfying read and would recommend it. This is the first book I have read from this author. I will be checking out her other work.
