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 favorite 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 realize 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. "A literary sensation." GUARDIAN "A bombshell of a book... Sharp, explosive, hilarious." NEW YORK TIMES "Glittering and funny... A stiletto slipped between the ribs and through the left ventricle of the heart."

Dark, funny, super short, fast-paced novel - but definitely overhyped.

I expected so much more from this book. I was really disappointed. The story was ok but was heading in literally no direction at all. I thought that at the end the characters will do something about the main problems in their lives. Beside the fact that they figured out their roles in all this, nothing else happened. The idea was really interesting but no real progress with it has been recorded.
