A really great quick read. A family drama that covers the pandemic, grief, loss, delusion and desperation. The characters were interesting and dynamic and all of them being unreliable added a secrecy/mystery element. It is amazing how much atmosphere, descriptions, dialogue and character interaction Oyinkan managed to squash all into a very short story. The only reason this is not a 5 star for me is it felt a little too much like 2 hysterical women unable to cope and a f*ck boy comes in and saves the day and or commits a felony.
