This book was much darker than I expected, I misinterpreted the genres (my fault), and the scenes were very graphic. The writing itself isn't bad, and the plot seems interesting, it's just way too dark/graphic for me.

Definitely worth picking up. Thought it would have a little more action though.

Wow. So good. End has me crying. Really vivid look at African culture. Sad, tragic story of Nena, one that many African women have experienced.

Intense, but made me laugh, cry, and I hope there is a follow-up soon.

Fast-paced. Memorable main character. Dual timelines helped break up some violent, very disturbing scenes. A smidgeon of romance.
