What this book is about
Korede is a meticulous Lagos nurse who has spent years cleaning up after her beautiful younger sister Ayoola's habit of killing her boyfriends—each claimed as self-defense. But when Ayoola sets her sights on the doctor Korede has secretly loved for years, their dark arrangement is finally tested. Braithwaite's sharp, darkly funny debut dissects sisterhood, beauty's social privileges, and the ways women are conditioned to protect each other even at great cost.
