The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi

5.0

WOW. Five stars. This story… Wow.

This story is so, so amazing. Painful, beautiful, real. I loved it so much and can’t recommend it enough.

I can’t even put into words how beautiful this story is. It’s such a quick read and such an impactful story. Emezi’s descriptions of their characters are specific and beautiful, honest, and filled with grief. I felt transported into the story- into each character’s home, personality, and meals. I felt like part of the story.

Each moment is so TRUE and relatable- it’s just such an amazing book.

10/10, 5 stars, 100% recommend- however you want to think about it. This is a must read.
