This book was a fever dream in a good way. I never liked those weird slapstick murder comedies where everything went wrong but maybe I just needed to read/watch one where the characters aren't white and already absolved from guilt by the law simply because they're white. The anxiety of being found out and actual steep consequences occuring really added to the absurdity of how blaise Meddy's mother and aunts were. This book was so fucking enjoyable and I cannot believe there's a whole other book. I don't know what the fuck is happening in that one but the excerpt at the end of this was already wild enough.
