This lovely cover holds a heartbreaking novel ... a beautifully-written coming-of-age story of an individual with the courage to truly be themselves.
As the title states, this book begins with the mysterious death of main character Vivek Oji. Akwaeke Emezi then tells the rest of the story in a non-linear fashion that slowly enables the reader to piece together the circumstances that led to Vivek's identity and death. This character study explores themes of identity, tradition, parental love, romantic love, and friendship.
Absorbing this novel as an audiobook was powerful, especially with dual narrators Yetide Badaki and Chukwudi Iwuji. Thank you to @libro.fm for the gifted ALC.
