This book is phenomenal. It's like nothing I've ever read before, it had me hooked from the start and I ended up reading it so much faster than I thought I would. The themes and dynamics explored are extremely interesting and I felt like I learned a lot from how this author explored the situations presented. The narrative style is compelling and each character has a distinct voice throughout. For such a short book it has a massive impact. I'll definitely be checking out more of Akwaeke Emezi's work!
