When Korede's dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister, Ayoola, she knows what's expected of her: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel and a strong stomach. This'll be the third boyfriend Ayoola's dispatched in, quote, self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away.

Until, that is, Ayoola starts dating the doctor where Korede works as a nurse.

    This book really drew me in! The characters fascinated me and I couldn’t help but be pulled along by the pace. I learned some interesting things about Nigerian culture too.

      Quotes

      • Kristina Katshas quoted4 years ago
        “You know, men are very fickle. Give them what they want and they will do anything for you. Keep your hair long and glossy or invest in good weaves; cook for him and send the food to his home and his office. Stroke his ego in front of his friends and treat them well for his sake. Kneel down for his parents and call them on important days. Do these things and he will put a ring on your finger, fast fast.”
        My mother nods sagely. “Very good advice.”

        He kept it sheathed and locked in a drawer, but he would bring it out whenever we had guests to show it off to.
