The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi
5.0
There is a knock on the door and when you go to answer it you find your young adult child wrapped up and left alone dead at your doorstep with no explanation. And we travel back in time to slowly uncover the live of Vivek Oji and what lead to that heart breaking moment.
This is a story about friendship, love, self acceptance, fear, shame and so many other things. Its beautiful, its emotions, its heart wrenching it is absolutely amazing and I recommend everyone to read it! Obviously it does touch on some tough topics to be away but it is worth it. I was wrecked during/after this and will always remember this book!
