A review by littleemc
My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite
2.0
I want to give this a 3.5 because its good; the writing is great, the characters are well thought out, and overall the book is a solid read. Entertaining and filled with moral issues to be dealt with.
But...
This is not a mystery/thriller. This carries the vibes of a contemporary family drama between two sisters being forced to decide if they will pick each other over a man no matter the consequences. It just so happens to be that her sister is a serial killer.
I will say I'm not really into family drama stories, or ones about sisters in general. So that's not helping. I also went into this knowing nothing aside from the giveaway title and that its a well read book in thr community.
I feel bad for disliking it as much as I do because if my reading tastes were different this would be a 5 star read. I did enjoy reading about this culture that's so different from the western world. For me that was the best part.
