This book is miles away from what I normally read, but I'm really glad I stepped out of my comfort zone to read it.

It's so heartbreaking, but also so real. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who may be interested.

I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, I can completely understand the raving of it and on another, I found the characters unlikable. At first, I loved Yejide. I was so angry for her. However, the further into the book we went, the less I liked her or maybe I just felt detached from her. I’m a reader that needs a character to attach to. Halfway through I did switch from physically reading to listening to the audiobook so that could have caused me feeling detached to the characters.

The twists were excellent, and the ending shocked me. I didn’t see it coming at all.

This book is heartbreaking. Please read trigger warnings beforehand if needed.
