Interesting story with unlikeable characters. But the editing is terrible. It's been a while since I read a book with so many typos. Obvious ones, like the word "said" is missing, and lots of missing prepositions. It's just annoying

I'm definitely getting more pulled into this than I expected! I love the characters and the writing style is wonderful. Only thing is that I wish there was a glossary. Braithwaite includes some Yoriba expressions and even though the meaning comes through in context, it would be cool to know what they actually mean; like, are they saying, "Hello, how are you today?" Or "Hey! what's up?"

This might end up as a DNF for me. The writing is good, and there are funny parts. I think as a woman, I'm supposed to feel some affinity for the FMC, but she reminds me of a conceited, overly precious person. Like someone who loves talking about awkward sexual encounters that no one cares about and then ends her story with, "Oh, I know, I'm just so naughty!" And it's like, "No, you're just predictable and tedious."
