Where Sleeping Girls Lie by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé

5.0

---

this book, as expected, was incredible. i will read absolutely anything that Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé writes, forever. her writing is so immersive and beautiful and makes you feel like you truly know the inner workings of her characters. this book was heavy but so so well done.

please check trigger warnings!
