My Sister, the Serial Killer

by Oyinkan Braithwaite

Fast read! Where it treads the same ground as "In The Woods," it does it much better. I was hoping for something a little more humorous, after the first chapter, but you can't always get what you want. (I'm glad M didn't die, though.)

I am not usually here for literary writing about people being horrible to each other and destroying one another's dreams because iT's tHe HuMaN cOnDiTiOn, but I liked the way the book slowly breaks down Korede's love for Tade as his entanglement with Ayoola reveals more and more of what kind of person he is.
