Praise for The Unfortunates

  • “Chukwu meticulously and brilliantly balances tough topics like depression with biting comedy, crafting a narrative about a young woman trying to survive and help others do the same.” — Shondaland

  • “Chukwu has written an extraordinary coming-of-age novel, with a fascinating protagonist and a tone that is just right for her material. The book’s dark atmosphere is enhanced by the presence of the author's own black-and-white illustrations. The result is a tour de force.” — Booklist

  • “Formidable . . . powerful. This blistering anthem brims with rage and hope.” Publishers Weekly
