FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR

'A masterwork of the form . . . mesmerizing.' New York Times
'A fun, sexy, dangerous, dark thriller about corruption.' Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
'A dazzling literary talent.'
Esquire

Akwaeke Emezi's exhilarating new novel follows five people over the course of a weekend which will brutally upend all of their lives.

As Kalu drops Aima at the airport, it marks the end of their four-year relationship. Shattered and broken open, he thinks that's the last he will see of his ex-girlfriend. But, reeling from the breakup, both Aima and Kalu find themselves drawn back to Lagos: to separate nights of decadence. When Kalu visits an exclusive sex party hosted by his best friend, Ahmed, he makes a decision that will plunge them all into chaos.

On the other side of town, Ola and Souraya, fresh off their first-class flight from Kuala Lumpur, are getting ready for their own nights of pleasure, unaware that everything is about to go awry. Pulled into a whirlwind descent through the city's corrupt and glittering underworld, they're all looking for a way out, fueled by a desperate need to escape the threat that looms over them.

I listened to this book, I didn’t listen to all of it, I kept falling asleep. the characters lack depth, also the writer is covering a lot of issues here (prostitution , sexual grooming, homosexuality, slay queens,mental illness) its a lot and the writing is high level for all of them, she over killed the sex scenes, they are too much. I didn’t get to see where all these stories connect, I might have missed it.

Too much unnecessary sex
