Nearly All the Men in Lagos Are Mad
by Damilare Kuku
Nearly All The Men is a wild ride. It is a collection of vignettes written in second person that describes modern dating in Lagos. As someone who has never been to Nigeria, I enjoyed learning about the life and culture through the backdrop of the novel. Although the title calls out the “men” of Lagos, you can see how everyone is driven to madness in the pursuit of love. We also get to see the power of friendship and how family support can be everything you need. I specifically waited for the audiobook to come out a week ago and was impressed with the narration.
This books is described as “raunchy” and with the amount of explicit scenes, it is definitely that. I had to take out the headphones for this one, it was a lot!
There is also a trigger warning (at least in the audiobook) for sexual assault in the last chapter, which I really respected and appreciated. It was also easy to skip the descriptions of the act and still get to the conclusion.
From story to the last, there are plot twists in every situation that either leaves your jaw in the floor or with that belly shaking laughter.
