3.5

If I could, I would have read/listened to this book in one sitting. Instead, I took a break around the 60% mark to go to toilet. This was a wonderful book, that read really fast and didn't leave a bad aftertaste, which has not happened to me in a bit. I do not think this is one of those books, that I will be rereading over and over again searching for what I felt about it again, but not every book needs to be like that. Two sisters are getting through their trauma and not everything is realistic and it is okay and it was a great read.

Wow this book moved at breakneck speed I literally read it in one day. Absolutely gripping and so much of Korede's feelings towards her sister and other women in her life resonated with me so much. Absolutely loved it.
