The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi

3.5

such a great exploration of grief, like kavita's storyline was devastating. i think that vivek and osita being cousins did make it a little weird but i guess they can't have children so?? following vivek's journey learning himself and getting comfortable sharing that with others was beautiful. the found family vibe with the girls was so heartwarming. i teared up for sure. but like wtf osita being the reason she died as she was finally coming into her own was so fucked, and because he was so terrified that someone else would harm her 😭
