brilliant. the multiple POVs made me root for all the characters, something I wasn't expecting. none of them were good per say, but they were so unapologetically themselves that I had no choice but to support them. I related to bolanle and her struggles, loving how she came on top at the end. the culture in this was rich, which added the personal touch that I needed.
