Publisher's Summary
Nominated for the Booker Prize 2019.
Shortlisted for the 2019 Women’s Prize for Fiction.
Korede is bitter. How could she not be? Her sister, Ayoola, is many things: the favourite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola's third boyfriend in a row is dead.
Korede's practicality is the sisters' saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood, the trunk of her car is big enough for a body and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures of her dinner to Instagram when she should be mourning her 'missing' boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit.
A kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where Korede works is the bright spot in her life. She dreams of the day when he will realise they're perfect for each other. But one day Ayoola shows up to the hospital uninvited and he takes notice. When he asks Korede for Ayoola's phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and what she will do about it. Sharp as nails and full of deadpan wit, Oyinkan Braithwaite has written a deliciously deadly debut that's as fun as it is frightening.

Dark and satire
You know it when you are intrugued and hinged and cannot stop.
It is a story about two completely opposite characters but together none the less sisters ,Koede and Aayola.
Koede is an opposite of aayola while Aayola is downright recluse who is a clean freak which helps with her nurse job at the hospital , and only is friends with a coma pateint ,to share everything she can't share with anyone. Then there is her sister who swoons everyone off there pants specifically men around her. She is a serial killer.
Its the story of how far one will go for their family, how far you will let them go .Its about the grey zone between the right and the wrong.
The narattion was a lilttle difficult at times for me to get into but the story kept me hinged .

wow!
What I really loved about it is the work of weruche opia. she made it so alive. glad I read it through audible and not as a book. this must be the only audio book I finished so quickly... its that good.
the novel took me by surprise. excellent way of serving a story.. just as it is, no morality forced on us, no unnecessary details but a simply effective and interesting thriller.

What all we do for family!
Truthfully, this should be made into a movie. reading it, one can associate the stuff we have to do for family members, despite their shortcomings. this book has a similar theme, but a twisted plot and will do well for a motion picture. it's a short book and is easy to go through in one sitting itself. the narrator is really good, enjoyed her thoroughly. pick it up for a light read showcasing a family's twisted story.

Great story experience enhanced by narrator
This could be someone casually telling you about their day over afternoon tea. Languid, but the short chapters or episodes keep you hooked. The narrator’s voice and accents vividly bring to life the setting in Lagos. I throughly enjoyed a point of view I haven’t come across before. Entertaining and engrossing.

In awe of the narrator!
This was a really interesting title and so was the story. Written simply with a storyline and characters that keep you hooked till the end. I absolutely loved, loved the narration. The narrator and her way of speaking for every character was phenomenal.
