abundantlyfemi 's review for:
Pet
by Akwaeke Emezi
The themes in this book really resonated with me and helped me dream of a better world. For me, the heart of the story is the power of young people, how intuitive and capable they are even when met with the ignorance and stubbornness of adults. Emezi gives us a window to see what it could look like to live in a world where past harms have been acknowledged and our gender identity is accepted without question. They also toy with the age-old idea that looks can be deceiving. Is the monster the strange and creepy Pet or the familiar faces that we see everyday? A read well worth investing in!
