Thank you to the publishers for sending me a copy in exchange for review

Review below

wow wow wow!!! what a book this one was, powerful from start to finish, so emotional and no spoilers but I just can’t get over that ending 😦 as it states in the synopsis we know that something terrible happens to Vivek Oji and that’s how we start the novel. from the first page I was sucked into this story and with what Emezi does best and we follow few different characters significant to the story and the switch between before and after of this incident that happens. Yes it is about the death of Vivek Oji but its not just that is explores the life of Vivek Oji and the company he kept (his family and friends) and how they treated Vivek with the ongoings of so many societal issues being put into these characters day in and out.

The way that Emezi can just write these stories is mind blowing and they are a force to be reckoned with from their writing and the beautiful prose to the characters and you can feel the emotion just rolling of the page with every novel Emezi writes, and this one did not disappoint. Auto buy author forever and always!!

this book deals with many subject matters that many readers could not want to read about but if you feel you are up for this novel I would recommend so so much!!!
