The Baby Is Mine by Oyinkan Braithwaite
4.0
When his girlfriend throws him out during covid lockdown for cheating, Bambi heads to his deceased Uncle’s house in Lagos. Arriving during a blackout, he is surprised to find his Aunty Bidemi sitting with Eshoe, his dead uncles mistress, and a baby boy who bith women claim is theirs. As the women begin playing mind games, there is sand in the rice, a blood stain appears on the wall, someone scores tribal markings into the baby’s cheeks. Who is lying and who is really the babys mother?
This was a short and entertaining read with fascinating but unreliable characters, much like Oyinkan Braithwaite's other books.althiugh Bambi sn’t a particularly likeable or sympathetic character at the start, he steps up to care for baby Remi and try to bring peace between the women. Bidemi and Eshoe are both crazy, unreliable and compelling characters. They are both so well written and their mood switches up keep you on the edge of you seat. I enjoyed this short read and I'm looking forward to a longer novel by Braithwaite (hopefully soon!)
