This was definitely one of the saddest books I've ever read. I had to keep taking breaks to cry. I think Ani Kayode Somtochukwu is ridiculously talented. The storyline was never predictable and the characters all felt very real. The only criticism I have is that the pacing felt a little all over the place at times.

This book broke me. The reality of being queer in Nigeria can be harrowing and Ani Kayode captures this beautifully
