Nightbloom by Peace Adzo Medie
They say your first friends are your cousins, and this is true for our initial impressions of Akorfa and Selasi, the central characters of Nightbloom. As the pair moves from girlhood into womanhood, each character tells us her side of how they grew apart as they got older, and Nightbloom is a gripping story of how not speaking up for yourself can have lasting consequences. This novel makes for a great book club discussion.
