Sophie <U+2013> or Adanna, as she's known to her Nigerian family and friends <U+2013> has better things to do than help plan her cousin's wedding<U+2026> 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 <U+2013> 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 <U+2013> 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.
