With Love Miss Americanah
With Love, Miss 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, all while working through grief and the rigid expectations of her mother.17 year old Enore Adesuwa doesn & rsquo;t dive into things, she walks in carefully. So when she, her mother, and her sister move from Nigeria to America shortly after her father & rsquo;s death, she wants to be extremely prepared before attending an American high school. Her cousin, Adrian, doesn & rsquo;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 set of rules of survival gathered from these movies (including the crucial rule of keeping a low profile), Enore is ready for her 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 constantly encourages her to share her incredible singing talent. Enore prefers the background but it just might be time for her to take center stage, even in spite of her mother & rsquo;s strict expectations.Maybe it would be easier to follow all the rules, the ones Enore set for herself and the ones her mom imposes, but as every teen movie has taught her, a coming of age is nothing without a little rebellion. And with help from her crush, her sister, and some new friends who don & rsquo;t quite fit the roles she expects them to play, Enore & rsquo;s senior year might indeed be cinematic.
