challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated

“I am here and not here, real and not real, energy pushed into skin and bone.”

Akwaeke Emezi’s storytelling is beautifully haunting. Which seems to be a common thread in my most recent library hauls.



Some CW for self-harm, suicidal ideation, sexual abuse.
