thank you so much to @booksparks for the #gifted copy for the #SPRC2024 reading challenge 💜

originally published in 2021 in Nigeria and now available in the U.S.

this is certainly not my usual kind of read and i appreciate that it’s outside of my comfort zone. it’s a really quick read full of spice - a collection of short stories exploring the madness of the men in Lagos through horrendous dating experiences and relationships filled with betrayal. i spent the entirety of reading this collection rooting for women, holding my breath, rolling my eyes, and admiring the author’s wittiness

cw: there is a lot of sexually graphic content in this novel as well as a detailed description of rape

One of the better short story collections I’ve read. Interesting stories , taking a variety of turns. I loved to see the women win but there were also stories where they took Ls or no one won. I enjoyed the 2nd person POV style of many of the stories. This book is definitely worth it!

I have laughed and I have cried. Half the time, my jaw was on the freaking floor. 

I need more short story collections in my life.
