just.. wow. i have never cried so hard in a book before this. their writing is stunning, it is timeless.

"I am tired of pain. it's just easier to focus on love and an existence outside this world. At least that feels like freedom." is among the countless of other lines that i have tabbed and highlighted and closed my eyes to as i clutched this book against my chest.

i am never disappointed with Awkwaeke Emezi's work. never.
