A review by archer3
The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi

mysterious sad tense medium-paced

3.0

"If nobody sees you, are you still there?"

Incredibly mixed feelings about this book. The organizational structure wasn't great, but the explorations of grief, love, queerness, and gender-fluidity were intertwined in an interesting way. The

incest

ruined it for me, though. I also wish the author spent more time with Vivek's character; it felt like the book was more about his mom.
