God's Children Are Little Broken Things: Stories by Arinze Ifeakandu

5.0

I really really love this anthology series. It made me laugh, it made me cry (mostly cry) but it's so cathartic reading a queer story set in my very homophobic country. This book makes me feel less alone and highlights the gay culture most Nigerians will pretend doesn't exist. My only problem with it is the lack of trigger warnings cos there's a lot to be triggered by and I really wish there was a warning before I read the very graphic sexual assault scene.

But all in all, this is a great book and I can't wait to read many more queer Nigerian stories.
