Dark themes but feels light-hearted. Focus is more on the sibling relationship.ka_ke's review against another edition

It walks the line between dark and funny. The writing is direct, and often sardonic.
Ayoola is her beautiful younger sister who can seemingly do no wrong. Except for the trail of dead men she seems to leave in her wake.
Femi makes three, you know. Three, and they label you a serial killer.
"I am the older sister—I am responsible for Ayoola. That's how it has always been. Ayoola would break a glass, and I would receive the blame for giving her the drink. Ayoola would fail a class, and I would be blamed for not coaching her. Ayoola would take an apple and leave the store without paying for it, and I would be blamed for letting her get hungry."
“It’s because she is beautiful, you know. That’s all it is. They don’t really care about the rest of it. She gets a pass at life.”
For those that get it, get it - a fresh punchy piece of feminist satire.
