It’s good the little I read. It gives summer vibes despite the death subject. Will definitely read this another time. Just not what I’m in the mood for right now.

Incredibly slow and a bit repetitive. Listless.

This was an interesting read. I started this ages ago and something about it just wasn't super holding my attention.

I like the dives into Emmanuel and Yejide, but the plot was looser than I expected or wanted it to be. The conflict built too slowly, but was good and intriguing once I got there. It's probably because it took me like 3 months to read this, but I think the plot just took too long.

Would be interested in reading more from Banwo, but this one wasn't for me.
