Look, I love Emezi. Their work is brilliant and I’m always interested in how they tell their story but the story seems to be getting old. It’s the same themes at this point like how many times can you write about these experiences and bring something new to it. I only say this because I’ve read all their other works first before reading the novel and I’m seeing the bits where fiction and reality blurred and where they were the same difference. Overall, I liked this book and I think this caps me reading her entire bibliography
