Such a beautiful story. I wish we'd gotten even more from Osita's and Vivek's perspectives because they were by far the most impactful and heartfelt parts of the book for me. Still, this story is beautiful, tender, raw, and will probably make you cry. 

I am SO stoked that Emezi has two novels coming out in 2022 plus a poetry collection, absolutely cannot wait to pick them up!
