this was a fun, quick, read. i really enjoyed being in the MC's thoughts while trying to figure out what to do about her potentially-a-serial-killer sister while just wanting to be with the guy she has a crush on. a short book about family ties, trauma, & relationships. there are definitely some cultural aspects that i, as an american and NOT nigerian, probably went over my head in some way, but it definitely didnt hinder my enjoyment at all and i would absolutely read from braithwaite again in the future.
