OBSESSED WITH THIS BOOK. HONESTLY.
Such an interesting take on sisterhood because it uses a serial killer and her sister to explore an, otherwise, common theme of sibling rivalry as well as the sibling solidarity that exists alongside it.
Loved how drastically different both Korede and Ayoola were and how they were both revealed to be terribly flawed in completely different ways.
This was a really fast paced read with punchy, short chapters and an overall plot that had me hooked from the very beginning. Had elements of dark humour dotted throughout that had be laughing/smiling despite the crimes that had happened just two pages prior.
Will hold a special place in my heart… especially because it’s based in Nigeria❤️🤌🏾
