Loved the suspense in this one🤌🏾😆, the author didn't drag it out to the point it became annoying.

I loved how she used everyone to tell the story, like we were jumping from person to person as we got closer to the truth, It was exciting😆.

- The time jumps, back and forth wa done right cause I enjoyed it

The Incest part threw me off, neh, mara. I was so intrigued with finding out how he died that I moved past it so quickly💀😭.

- How he died💔😭😭😭😭😭😭 yho I didn't see that coming kise🤞🏿 maybe cause of how the author was busy mentioning how much vivek lost weight, coupled with his phasing out episodes I really though he had like a rare psychological disorder Kanti... 

- loved Somto😂😂😂😂 my fighter that one🫵🏾🤣, as for useless rat🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm glad Osita didn't disclose what they were doing cause yho💀😭

Ebenezer 😭🤣😂 yerr he killed me, rubbish man, not him calling mama florance a wicked woman, rich coming from you sir🫵🏾🙄🚮 And chika‼️🙄🚮 sies maan!

The nigerian society was a nice touch, kinda reminded me of bo Stockvela, hari dumeli vibes .
