really good collection of short stories focusing on the different types of love and romance in Lagos, ranging from mummy issues, to homosexuality and catfishing. the stories, though short, definitely made me gasp when the twists occurred. would rate it higher but there's a sex scene in pretty much every story and i felt it was unnecessary in the majority of them so i would skip them simply because they didn't progress the plot or make me feel any differently to the characters
