LOVED Krystleâs writing style and the use for foreshadowing throughout the book. Every time I thought something would happen, Krystle caught me off guard!
I had a love hate relationship with the protagonists, Efe especially, however, Rootless really displays the raw truth of being married as well as find your identity within and outside your relationship. Dark and brutal at times but genuine throughout.
I enjoyed learning about Ghana and Ghanaian culture and proverbs. And the deep message of forgiveness at the end of the book.
If youâre looking for your next book to read, look no further!

The book was heartbreaking and unexpected but I think also presented a realistic representation of relationships, families and parenting.
Would recommend but make sure you know what you're getting in for.

Anyway, this book had me frustrated at the lack of communication between Sam and Efe. It does a good job highlighting the pressure from families in Ghana on a young woman to get married and have kids and all the struggles that comes with that.
Also what was that ending omg?? i was so annoyed at how the book ended

Just generally there was a lot of interesting plot events that could have been explored more, which is a pity
