My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite

4.0

An unsatisfying ending but I understand why, Korede is a character numbed by her traumatic experiences. She was never going to make the right choice or a single selfish choice. She doesn't understand herself beyond her serial killer of a sister. I'm bitter about her end but I knew it would be this way based on her big weakness--she has no sense of self. She won't let herself be free. It feels true somehow. Somehow scarier than her sister being a murderer who takes pleasure in her kills and uses her femininity (and indirectly the Me Too Movement) to get away with it.

This is, in gothic terms, the Feminine Terror.
