This story takes place in today’s era where you see
characters using social media platforms. Protagonist here is an elder sister
whose younger sister is a serial killer. It is a short and precise story based in Nigeria where two sisters along with their mother live. Not to
my surprise, they have been in an abusive relationship with their father. They
have seen abuse in their parent’s relation as well.
The younger sister Ayoola is an eye candy and entices every
male who sees her. But the elder sister, Korede, is way too matured and
protective of her family. She is a cleanliness freak where as Ayoola is a mess.
You will not see Korede’s phone charger tangled!! I promise!! Haha But but, you
will not be able to find anything in place in Ayoola’s room. That’s how the
story goes: Ayoola creates mess, Korede cleans it up for Ayoola.
Ayoola calls her sister every time she has murdered her
boyfriend and Korede comes to save her from rotting in jail for her entire life.
She does not take her sister to police because she is conditioned to protect
her as an elder sister since childhood. Family comes first!! Isn’t we have seen
the same chemistry in our families? Elder siblings to be always responsible for
the younger ones.
One day Ayoola fixes her eyes on the Korede’s love and Korede
is now aware and alarmed of the consequences!!
(Korede, if you are somewhere, please know I have my heart for you girl!!)
Please read to know how
it ends. I am basically not completely happy with the ending but nevertheless, this
story is a good read.
The writing in the book is simple and in complete flow. The
chapters are short and precise. If you have good reading speed, then you can
finish in one go. It took me a couple of days to finish as I have to run around
my toddler. Anyways, overall it is a good read!!
Point on the scale of 1 to 5 (1 being lowest and 5 being
highest) = 3.5
Should read/Must read = Should read
Alluring Readers = All those who like thriller and suspense.
Those who are thinking to start reading should definitely give it a try!
The above review is my opinion and the way I interpreted the
novel. And, the world should agree to disagree. Hence, our liking and
interpretations can entirely contradict. Please read and let me know whether
you enjoyed reading it or not.
Plus, it was a gift to me from my Secret Santa!! (I know,

Also, please suggest a few worth reading!!
