Ngl the incest was so messy. Also Osita having to live with the knowledge that Nnandi' s death was an accident is so heartbreaking.

A complex and beautiful book where trigger warnings should be checked. It was my 2nd time reading and I enjoyed the audiobook as much as the first time. This time the cast of charcaters didn't seem so large and it felt easier to remember and digest the secondary plot lines.

ending with nmendi and her pov was amazing

The ending of this def made me cry a little. It was also a reveal I wasn't expecting. I really enjoyed this book for the complexities of the characters and how the story was structured. I also listened to the audiobook as I followed along with the physical book and the narrators were great.
