International best-selling author Lola Akinmade Åkerström's second novel, Everything Is Not Enough, the sequel to her debut novel, In Every Mirror She's Black, turns expectations and stereotypes of Black women on their heads. Åkerström creates space for characters to become fully realized, allowing them to make mistakes and embrace anger or selfishness in ways they're not always allowed.
Everything Is Not Enough follows the loosely intertwined and messy lives of Kemi, Brittany, and Yasmiin as they interrogate themes of place, prejudice, and patriarchy in Europe, proving--yet again--that Lola Akinmade Åkerström is the next great voice of nuanced contemporary women's fiction.
