With Love, Miss Americanah - Jane Igharo - Bog

Sisi Americanah-the Young Adult contemporary romance debut from Jane Igharo-sees a teenager move from Nigeria to America and navigate her senior year with the help of classic teen movies and a new crush, while working through grief and the rigid expectations of her mother.17-year-old Enore Adesuwa doesn't dive into things, she wades in very carefully. So when she and her mother and sister move from Nigeria to America shortly after her father's death, she wants to be as prepared as possible for attending an American high school. Her cousin, Adrian, doesn't have time to explain the ins and outs to her but, luckily, he recommends the perfect research tool: teen movies.Still dealing with grief but armed with a list of rules of survival (including no drawing attention to herself) gathered from these beloved movies, Enore is ready as she'll ever be for senior year. But when she meets Davi Santiago, it may be much harder than she thought to keep to her rules. Because not only is he super thoughtful (and okay, very good looking), he encourages Enore to share her incredible singing voice. She prefers the background but it just might be time for her to take center stage, even in spite of her mother's own strict rules and desires for her.With help from Davi, some new friends who don't quite fit the roles she expects them to play, and her younger sister, can Enore get through senior year with a new passion, new boldness, and new love?
