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.

I really loved the writing style of this book, quick, witty and engaging. The plot and characters drew me in and I ended up reading it in one sitting. However, I found the ending really unsatisfying and I wish there had been a less ambiguous conclusion.

Spoiler

I didn’t like how we went on this whole journey with Korede and Ayoola just to end the book exactly where we started with no repercussions for anyone

It’s implied that, as part of a business deal, a father has promised that his 14 year old daughter will provide sexual favors to another adult man. The girl’s aunt encourages her to comply. The girl’s sister prevents the assault from happening, and the father dies soon after.

I enjoyed the book but I feel like certain things were not flushed out enough to feel like there was a conclusion to the story.
