This book was…woah. It freaking shook me. Akwaeke is growing to be one of my favorite authors, and this book is partially why. It’s most definitely a lot, but this journey of Vivek coming into themself is haunting, yet beautiful. Finding out how Vivek dies is so heartbreaking. The best word to describe this book is definitely heartbreaking.
