I really liked this, not so much as a thriller but as a black comedy. I liked the exploration of the sisters' relationship, though I wish that Ayoola was more developed as a character. It felt like she was a bit one-dimensional until the end. It was short, well paced, and the narrator for the audiobook was great.

The emotional responsibility we have for our family is so true in this. This book is not what I expected but it asks the question, who are we if we unequivocall  if permissively support a murderer?

A good quick summer read! Good little twists throughout, never sure what would happen next or in the end.
