On New Year's Eve, Eve's husband Q dies by suicide. While you learn more about Eve and Q's relationship, Nwabineli's debut novel focuses on Eve's complicated emotions after her husband's death. From shock to anger to depression, Eve navigates her grief with the help of her Nigerian family and a group of loyal friends in this powerful story. Nwabineli does an excellent job with such a heavy topic, delivering a powerful but not emotional read. I felt like an outside observer of Eve's grief, appreciating its complexity and ever-shifting tone without being drawn in myself.
