Bambi finds himself in quite the situation. After being kicked out of his girlfriends house for cheating he is forced to move in with his late uncles wife, misteress and a baby. The problem, both women claim the baby is theirs.
I'm not sure how Oyinkan Btaithwaite conveys such a complex story is only 100 pages. She is fantastic at character and plot development and keeps this moving at a rapid pace. Although the book is wrapped up in that short time period I am always wanting more.
This was a quick, mysterious and disturbing read. Btaithwaite writes in a realistic and humourous way but you still feel genuine terror at times.
