3/5 ⭐️: quirky short covid novella. Set in lockdown in Lagos, Bambi is caught cheating on his partner, and is forced to move in with his recently widowed aunt. She claims that she has just given birth to a baby, but her late husband’s lover, who is also in the house, is declaring it’s hers…Plenty of psychological mind games played at close quarters. It’s not ‘My Sister the Serial Killer,’ but it’s a quick and entertaining read.

This was a thrilling short story with a unique storyline and a nice little plot twist that didn’t feel too obvious nor too unbelievable. The main character is an asshole tho but that’s probably the point.
