This one didn't hit as hard as Pet for me but it is a great accompanying novel. The context it provides to Bitter and Lucilles history increase the depth of the whole story and I think make it more interesting. Not sure what to say without giving too much away but as with every Akwaeke Emezi novel I've read so far, the characters are amazing and well developed, the plot is interesting and engaging, and the writing style means not a word is wasted.
