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?
