I don’t even know what to say about this book, except WOW.  

This book is just jam packed, there is never a dull moment.  It’s an intimate look at sex, corruption, and power in a Nigerian city.

Told from the POVs of 5 friends and taking place over one weekend, one bad decision leads to a hit being put out on one of the friends, sexual discoveries, and murder.  These friends are put in absolutely wild situations, that all come together in the end with sort of a resolution?  The ending is very abrupt and very much left open, so many different things could happen, and it felt like the right sort of ending for this story.

I really liked the discussions on sex work, as there are three sex workers that are key to the story, and the discussions on attempting to ethically fulfill certain deviant fantasies.

I really appreciate that Akwaeke Emezi is doing so many different things with their writing.  I feel bad to say it, but I’ve actually DNF’d two of their other books, but then this one and You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty just completely blew me away with how good they were.  I will definitely continue to seek out their books, because when they work for me, they really work for me.
