I really liked this book but man do these characters piss me off. A book that makes makes me mad for all the right reasons deserves a high rating.

We're supposed to hate the men but Ayoola and Karebe pissed me off the most. If I had a sister as ungrateful and self-absorbed as Ayoola, I'd off her myself. Karebe, you are implicated in multiple murders because of your sister yet you still protect her? Even after how she treats you? You deserve to sit with the guilt and may you never know peace. Screw family and culture.
