The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi
emotional
mysterious
sad
tense
medium-paced
4.5
When a mother finds her son’s body wrapped in a colorful blanket on her doorstep, she obsesses with learning the truth of his death.
This book was heartbreaking and painful to get through but a powerful story for the LGBTQ+ genre. Vivek is transgender and misunderstood in the community, including in their own family. Was it a stranger or close friend behind Vivek’s tragic end?
