Here are three things you should know about this book:

1. It will emotionally eviscerate you 
2. It is an absolutely beautiful and heart wrenching portrayal of grief 
3. The love of this family is endless 

And one thing you should know about me

1. I read this whole thing in less than a week 

bonus fact: No, I am not okay

This is a hard review to write just like it was a hard book to read. It’s not as simple as a “it was great!” 
This is a book about grief and all the messy complexities and layers of it. Sadness. Despair. Anger. Guilt.  This is an emotional book that won’t be for everyone but it is well written and powerful.

Deeply moving and terribly sad. This book displays the rawness of grief in a stunning and real way. The peeks into Nigerian culture were fascinating and gave the novel depth it wouldn’t otherwise have. The author brings truth and honesty to the characters brilliantly.
