I really enjoyed this collection of slice of life flash fiction (short stories) most of which are probably set in Africa from what I can tell, since the author is Nigerian. The majority of the characters are Africans who are educated professionals. These stories are about their personal lives and from their personal perspectives all with a surprise ending. Things are not what they seem and the unexpected happens. The author's words flow easily and enjoyably which also make these stories treats.
Topulope Popoola is a Nigerian independent author whom I learned about through another independent author, Joanna Penn's, weekly YouTube program. Since I also write and is finishing up editing my first book as an independent author, I was inspired by the interview and decided I wanted to sample Ms. Popoola's writing. I plan to read more of her books.

Despite how breezy the stories are, this book didn't fail to deliver sharp thrills and twists. Now I know why the author is called the queen of flash fiction.
