This is such a warm representation of friendship and motherhood. I really liked the way Obaro builds up her characters through the way they are loved by their significant people. For example, we learn that a fussy and controlling character is actually the person her friends trust to give them grace when they’ve been messy. The reunion of the three university friends is really rich and complicated. We see what it means to love people and be tired of them at the same time. All the main characters are well-drawn and individual and somehow they’re friendship feels long-formed and deep. I just wish I knew them.
