I absolutely loved the characters and the way their stories intertwined. I loved their complex relationships with each other and themselves, and the secondary characters were brilliant.

anyway plus of this book : interesting culture explanation, gorgeous sentences, will be ruining ur heart beautifully, lots of delicious foods.
minus :
the side characters is more real than our second lead, Kehinde, eventho it helped us understanding Taiye better i still don't think it's the right idea. native language is cool but it's confusing when there's no translation.
