Original, binge-able & darkly funny!

The short, snappy chapters really build up the tension and the dynamics between dysfunctional sisters make you not want to put in down! The emotions and obligations that drive Korede & Ayoola are captured brilliantly... is blood thicker than water? If you had to choose between two people you care about most who would you protect?

Braithwaite's writing really brought to life Lagos the hustle and bustle of the streets, the food, and the phrases gave me an insight into an unfamiliar culture. The social commentary on the Nigerian culture was eye-opening particularly the fearsome patriarchal nature and the corrupt law system.

As much I found this novel compelling, I wasn't blown away by it I wanted more from the abrupt ending, it left me feeling unsatisfied and it was far too ambiguous for me.

Overall, a fast-paced, sharp, and refreshing. It would make the perfect book club pick as there are various discussion topics.
