This book was laugh out loud hilarious, raunchy, and just the bit of reflective I needed to land it as one of my favorite reads of this year. I can’t wait to explore books by this author and read more books in African literature as a whole!

A really great read. Each story felt very different and was a great ride. Independence Day and Cuck-up were my favorites!

This entertaining book is a compilation of 12 short stories that are an exact example of the book title. LOL 

"𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙇𝙖𝙜𝙤𝙨 𝙈𝙖𝙣 𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙡𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙘𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜; 𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙮𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙠𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙨, 𝙨𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙖𝙪𝙫𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙧 𝙊𝙪𝙙𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨."

Out of the 12, I enjoyed these 3 stories the most:
-First Times
-Catfish
-Beard Gang
