When Korede's dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister, Ayoola, she knows what's expected of her: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel and a strong stomach. This'll be the third boyfriend Ayoola's dispatched in, quote, self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away. She should probably go to the police for the good of the menfolk of Nigeria, but she loves her sister and, as they say, family always comes first. Until, that is, Ayoola starts dating the fit doctor where Korede works as a nurse. Korede's long been in love with him, and isn't prepared to see him wind up with a knife in his back: but to save one would mean sacrificing the other.

This book was a very quick read and I enjoyed it a lot! I kept laughing out loud while reading it and had to quote passages to my mom when she would ask what was so funny.
It's full of dark humour, but still reads light despite the tragic circumstances (no spoilers here, the title says it all). While reading you might feel irritation or even anger at the carelessness, childishness and egoism of the two sisters. Yet you still end up with a fuzzy warm feeling towards them (at least I did). Love concurs all, especially when it's the unconditional kind reserved for closest family members.
Sharp little novel, bitter and funny. Think I will give it to my sister for Christmas.
Fun, fast, and clever. I wanted more of a twist at the end, and definitely don't agree with the reviews that called it hilarious, but an interesting commentary on gender roles and family obligations.
Sent back to library before i finished, waiting on it to come back to me lol
