A quick read 🔪
"My Sister, the Serial Killer" by Oyinkan Braithwaite is a short but thoroughly entertaining read. The story, which explores the complexities of family loyalty, interested me from the start.
However, the ending felt a bit abrupt, leaving me wanting more closure. I also found things to be a bit predictable leading up to each event. On a positive note, the author narrated the audiobook beautifully, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience.
Overall, it's an entertaining and unique novel.
⭐️Overall rating: 3/5
