Gute kurzweilige Kamnerspielunterhaltung mit einem seltsam skurrilen Plot , der mitten in einem Corona-Lockdown in Lagos spielt. Die männliche Erzählperspektive hat mir nicht ganz zugesagt, obwohl sie für die Betrachtung der Handlung wichtig war.

Entertaining but overall too short to have much of an impact on me. The last line was pretty funny, though. I listened to the German audiobook (as usual, read by a white narrator >.>) and found that Braithwaite's writing style does not work well on audio. It makes her short sentences sound simple and too clipped. This might've had something to do with the German translation as well. It just didn't feel natural all the way through.
