    Little rot was wild! I didn’t know if I wanted to cry or laugh or eat popcorn! 🍿 😢😂
    In the end it made me feel very sad for queer people living in the communities with a severe problem of homophobia 😢

    Do you recommend this as a first book by Akwaeka to read? Sounds like a very good book

      @@tswizzle1367 I think this would be a good start to their work. It’s one of the most…simple that they’ve written. I would highly recommend Freshwater also, it’s challenging, but worth the read.

      I agree that Freshwater is a good book to start with-it was my first and gave me an understanding of the spiritual center of their work that I feel deepens my appreciation of their other novels 💜
