I learned about this book through the PopSugar 2020 Reading Challenge and thought I would check it out. I am glad I did. This is a story of two sisters trying to deal with hurts of the past. Korede is the older sister and has been told, since she was young, that she is responsible for her younger sister, Ayoola. Turns out, being responsible also means cleaning up the messes Ayoola creates, mainly the crime scene after she murders her boyfriends. This was a short, quick read, but full of a good storyline.

Not a thriller. Actually very boring, slow and predictable. Reading this was yawn inducing. I don’t get the hype.
