This was spiky and fun to read, with the depictions of life after grief thudding around my chest in a satisfying way. It did get a little slow after Alim and Feyi start to hook up and things get super serious and not all that fun anymore. That felt realistic enough, but definitely not the most interesting, action packed or spicy.
Moderate: Death and Grief
