Wow I loved this! I expected this to be good but nothing special but wow I was wrong. Read this entirely in one afternoon, I didn't even put it down long enough to get a bookmark. For such a short and genuinely funny book it covered themes of toxic families, abuse, enabling etc brilliantly. I loved being in Korede's head with all of her struggles and questionable decisions

My Sister, The Serial Killer is a fast paced and hard to put down read. It strikes a balance of a light-hearted slice of life and an emotional tale about Korede's relationships, loyalties, experiences and past.
