The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi
5.0
challenging emotional inspiring reflective sad medium-paced
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was really beautiful and also just so heartbreaking and tender at the same time. Unraveling the layers of care and love around Vivek was really powerful, and the book itself was just gorgeous. I'm  not sure how much I want to give away here, but it was so good to just be in this book and let it unfold around me as I read, and I hope other folks pick it up to have this experience.
