Wow. This book was truly unhinged. So many themes seen throughout Emezi's other works, but here, the darkest of them all come crashing together.
As usual, the writing is absolutely incredible, but so much of "Little Rot" was difficult to read. Please prepare yourself with content warnings if you decide to give this book a try. I appreciated it for so many reasons, but also don't feel like I can recommend it widely.
