this was so much fun! it walks the line between realistic and slightly implausible so well, with a good dash of social commentary and excellent world building. the nigerian setting and characters are rich and the cast all have distinctive voices, which are narrated excellently in the audiobook. the first half was definitely stronger than the second plotwise, but i did enjoy the exploration of Korede and Ayoola's upbringing a lot. Korede's voice is so strong and she's such a captivating narrator, i was really able to feel for both her and Ayoola, although i had moments where i very much wanted to throw Ayoola under the bus. the ending fell a little flat for me, somehow being both predictable and unpredictable, which left me a little more confused than breathless like i was hoping. the ending could've been punchier, it was good, just a little anticlimactic.
