Beautiful! As clever, honest and raw as Adichie always is.

I’m kind off at a loss of words with this one. One of the most intimate, emotional books I’ve ever read. I shed a few tears while reading this, I felt so seen and heard. This book is about a daughter grieving the sudden death of her father. It hits close to home for me. I myself lost my father 9 years ago when I was only 11 years old, so safe to say I know exactly what it’s like. Adjusting to a life without him, seeing people I love deeply pained. Losing my father is the most painful thing i’ve ever felt, but witnessing my siblings losing their father too, was equally as painful. If I learned anything from that part of my life it is that no one understands and shares your pain as much as siblings. I realized my siblings were the most important people I had by my side during that time. They were the only ones going through the exact same thing i was, the only ones with the same childhood and the same parents. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without them. Unforgettable book
