About
Sophie, or Adanna, as she's known to her Nigerian family and friends has better things to do than help plan her cousin's wedding even if it is to a fabulously wealthy music mogul, Afrobeats superstar Skeleboy, and the cake costs more than a car. Things like homework, debate practice, and studying with fellow egghead Justin. After all, if she's going to follow her ten-year plan to become a lawyer, she needs to focus. Ever since Ada's slacker brother Sam mysteriously left the family five years ago, Ada feels the full weight of her parents' expectations and is determined to make their sacrifice worth it. But when a chance encounter reconnects the estranged siblings, Ada begins to dream of a life beyond her precious ten-year plan. She's always been the perfect student, the perfect daughter, the perfect Nigerian but what happens when she decides she's done being perfect? This new novel from the author of the dazzling debut Like Home is at once both a pitch perfect vision of a deeply loving and occasionally dramatic extended immigrant family as well as a hugely relatable story about carving out your own place.
