The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi
4.0
What a beautifully profound book about identity, life, and loss. Vivek’s story was beautiful and powerful and devastating all at once.
I really wish that Osita would have been made to be a close family friend instead of a cousin, and although I am sure that Emezi had reasons for doing this, it was hard for me to see past, which is the only reason that this is not a 5 star book for me.
That being said, I will definitely be reading more from this author, their writing was really powerful.
