It was an OK book. Honestly, I did find really good parts of it, but I just felt like it should’ve been a little bit longer. Just more descriptive into the situation a little bit more on the backstory on how everything came about with the murders . I felt it would’ve been a good book to put into like a second point of view with from the sister that was doing the murders as well to gain an insight from her on why it was happening.
This book was funny, wild, page turning, keep you up all night long knowing you have to get up early the next day but don’t care! 8/10 only because I needed more out of the ending!
in my opinion, this book truly didn't live up to the immense hype surrounding it. the storyline had potential, introducing us to two intriguing sisters: Korede, a dedicated nurse, and her enigmatic sibling, Ayoola, who is not just a carefree character but a murderess Ayoola's call for help after committing the unthinkable—taking the live of her ex-lovers—leads Korede into a whirlwind of moral dilemmas. She claims these men were abusive, and in a panic, she leans on her sister to help clean up the mess. i found the past and present POV shifts jarring; they didn't quite weave together in a satisfying way. both sisters felt underdeveloped throughout the story. we watch Korede grapple with her conscience, torn between loyalty to her sister and the moral obligation to report her crimes. yet, we only see Ayoola through Korede's lens, which limits our understanding. a glimpse into Ayoola's mind would have added depth—what truly drove her to murder? were those men really the monsters she claimed they were?
overall, the plot fell flat for me. i was hoping for a deeper exploration of the murders—more suspenseful details and a clearer connection between the time-jumping perspectives. instead, i was left wanting more cohesion and character growth, making it hard for me to fully engage with the story.
