This is my first time reading any of Emezi's works & I was thoroughly impressed by their prose. They effortlessly and lyrically critiqued society's wish to turn a blind eye on atrocities with the illogical hope that if we don't acknowledge them that they will disappear. 10/10 - 5⭐️

Great book! Found it easy to read and captivating. Simple idea with some good messages. Very on the nose, but an enjoyable journey nonetheless :)
