A young adult novel by Louisa Onomé, Twice As Perfect follows a Nigerian-Canadian girl dealing with an estranged older brother, helping her cousin plan a big Nigerian wedding, and enduring pressure from her parents about her future.
For seventeen-year-old Adanna Nkwachi, life is all about duty: to school and the debate team, to her Nigerian parents, and even to her cousin Genny as Adanna helps prepare Genny’s wedding to Afrobeats superstar Skeleboy. Because ever since her older brother, Sam, had a fight with their parents a few years ago and disappeared, somebody had to fill the void he left behind.
One day, chance brings the siblings together again and they start working to repair their bond, and Adanna’s determined to get answers about the night Sam left. Amid parental pressure, anxiety over the debate competition, a complicated love life, and the Nigerian wedding-to-end-all-weddings, can Adanna learn, just this once, to put herself first?
