Story of family relationships, power dynamics and commitment.
 
The well structured short chapters helped weave the characters histories into the present. 
A surprising enjoyable and quick read, especially as I don't usually go for thriller type books. 

I was expecting the book to get darker at times and I felt a bit disappointed with the ending. Perhaps there might be a follow up novel in the future.

Wow this book moved at breakneck speed I literally read it in one day. Absolutely gripping and so much of Korede's feelings towards her sister and other women in her life resonated with me so much. Absolutely loved it.

i had a lot of fun reading this and i flew through it!! it’s super fast paced and has a great plot. i just wish the characters were a little better developed, and i didn’t love the writing.
