Thank you, Virago, for providing access to this book. It's my first time reading Chibundu and I wasn't expecting anything but this book is very fast-paced I was able to get into the story very quickly. 

Reading it as a Nigerian, I felt like there were a lot of inconsistencies that were distracting me from the plot. Also, I did not like the voice of the protagonist, for someone who is almost 50 years old, she sounded like a teenager and I don't know maybe because of the issues she has with her dad  but I didn't like her voice.

Overall,  it's an okay book.
