I bought this book specifically to read on holiday because I wanted something messy and dramatic and the reviews I’d seen for Little Rot promised just that. Let me tell you, the reviews did not lie, I was ADDICTED to this book from the first page. It’s fast and ferocious and cruel and corrupt. All the action takes place over one weekend, fuelled by sex and violence, with the five main characters barrelling into one another’s lives often with tragic consequence. It’s a far cry from the other stuff I’ve read from Emezi, I love that they don’t feel restricted to one genre and are clearly having a whale of a time exploring all sorts of writing. 

This book goes to some very dark places, so expect a disturbing but addictive and intense read.
