If You Want to Make God Laugh by Bianca Marais
4.0
Major trigger warnings for this book: sexual assault, attempted suicide, some curse words
What a heartbreaking story!! This book drew me in right away. That is something I didn't expect. It was very interesting to see this story set in the Nelson Mandela era South Africa. It also touched on the subject of AIDS as it emerged and turned into a pandemic during that time. It also includes religious aspects (both African and Christian) as well as adoption, grief, and loss.
