tend to ignore blurbs so i can read books without spoilers or being influenced by what it’s “about” but i have read this one & honestly very misleading?
not in a bad way but it’s not specially about elom & his boyfriend. i’m nearly halfway through and elom is not even out yet. it’s a family saga, the first quarter is about abena and kodzo. it’s really good and i think the blurb sells it short
