This book was heartbreaking and beautiful all at the same time. The first chapter opens with one sentence that immediately pulls you in, and from that moment I needed to know what happened.
I went into this book completely blind, and I’m so glad I did. This was my first book by Akwaeke Emezi, and it definitely won’t be my last.
We follow Vivek, his cousin Osita, and their family as they try to understand who Vivek really was before and after his death. I loved how the story slowly came together, with each chapter giving us another piece of Vivek. The reveal involving Vivek and Osita definitely caught me off guard, I didn’t see that ending coming!
This book made me feel so many emotions. My heart broke for Vivek, and I just wanted him to be seen and loved for who he was. By the end, I just sat there thinking about everything I had read.
