The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi
5.0
Waves of sadness are still hitting me from this book.
"My Sister the Serial Killer", broke me out of my reading slump this year, but "The Death of Vivek Oji", has reminded me why I love to read.
I myself am non-binary and Nigerian by my father's side, and while I have faced hurt and rejection for my identity, I recognise the absolute privilege I have in my life over Vivek and his own story. This truly brokey heart, and I felt every emotion reading it, but returned to sadness each time.
This book has moved me, and I know I will be thinking about it for months to come.
Thank you Akwaeke Emezi.
