Rochelle’s Reviews > The Death of Vivek Oji > Status Update

A novel of secrets. I didn’t find this as powerful as Freshwater. It lacked the intensity. Perhaps unfair to compare them, however, Freshwater was the reason I picked up this novel. This would be an excellent YA read. I think it would also be enjoyable for those not looking for the complexity of Freshwater. Akwaeke Emezi is an excellent author & this is a very good book. Perhaps just not what I was hoping for.
