Gaslight by Femi Kayode
I don’t know what rating to give this book actually.
I did however have a good time reading this book. This isn’t a book with an abrupt plot twist, but instead one that builds up and adds to the story and I found that very interesting. The topic of organized religion is one of the prevailing themes, and reading it as a person who has a relationship with God makes me sad because its people like Dawodu that paints christanity in a bad light. Moral Lesson: don’t put your trust in man but in God Himself, cause man will fail you but God never fails.
Also, idk if it’s just me but the feel of the book didn’t really give me Nigerian vibes. While reading i kept on forgetting that it was based in Nigeria, but maybe it’s cause we are reading it from the main character POV who was previously UK based? 🤷🏽♀️
I also really liked the subplot of the whole Lara situation. Plus Folake is an absolute girlboss!
