This. Was. Messyyyyyyyy.

Some of the stories felt a bit too long but overall I enjoyed this book of short stories.

This. Was. Messyyyyyyyy. Some of the stories felt a bit too long but overall I enjoyed this collection of short stories.

What a way to begin the reading year! With a bang!

This book is hilariously tragic. Damilare Kuku does an amazing job of telling stories that multiple women in the world can sadly relate to while infusing humour in what I thought was a respectful way.

The title of this book is what brought me but the masterful writing and entertainment is what kept me until the very end.

10/10 would recommend!
adventurous emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A Rollercoaster of emotions while reading this book because the rawness in some stories will leave you in anger, disbelief and tears. The humor was a great plus because it softened the heavy punch that most stories packed.

so i checked out “nearly all the men in lagos are mad” by damilare kuku, and it was pretty cool. the short stories were really awesome, especially “cuck-up,” “international relations,” and “i knew you.” but i gotta say, some of the others felt a bit rushed, like maybe they needed more depth, you know? still, three solid stars because the author's writing is fire, and just pulling off this book is genius!
