this was a heavy read about the pain and struggle of being gay in modern Nigeria. i really appreciated how the author steeped this book in the politics of Nigeria (and the politics of liberation the characters were seeking). 

I loved Segun so much, and wish we got more of his POV- the book didn’t feel balanced between Segun and August. the pacing of the book overall also felt a little off, but i would definitely definitely read more from this author in the future!!
