Absolutely gut wrenching ðŸ˜
LOVED Krystle’s writing style and the use for foreshadowing throughout the book. Every time I thought something would happen, Krystle caught me off guard!
I had a love hate relationship with the protagonists, Efe especially, however, Rootless really displays the raw truth of being married as well as find your identity within and outside your relationship. Dark and brutal at times but genuine throughout.
I enjoyed learning about Ghana and Ghanaian culture and proverbs. And the deep message of forgiveness at the end of the book.
If you’re looking for your next book to read, look no further!
