Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster UK for the eARC.
When the author announced this book on twitter I was very keen on reading it. I enjoyed her debut a lot and I enjoyed this one as well.
Damilare Kuku is a social commentator. There were many things addressed in this book, body dysmorphia being the main topic, but other things such as grief, friendship, sex, etc ( can’t name all of them so as not to spoil it). She’s one of the growing number of Nigerian authors that write books that are not centred around trauma.
I found myself laughing out loud a lot of times.
I loved how the author used ami ohuns for all Yoruba names.
The book was set in Ife which was breath of fresh air. Not every time Lagos
I do wish there were less POVs, at some point it was hard to keep track.
