One of my favourite reads!
There are so many reasons I enjoyed this book. 1) Relevancy - it's a story of a virus infecting communities and countries and how the virus transmits through everyday items and situations that we often take for granted; 2) Dark humour - the story is told from the perspective of the virus, and the virus has a personality all its own: Snarky, sarcastic, uncaring, opinionated, and judgmental of the human race; 3) Cultural and Racial Issues - the book is so well written when it comes to making you feel immersed in different cultures (i.e. UK vs. Nigeria) and also touches on racial bias and even 'conspiracy theories', including the origin and spread of the virus.
This book was well written and had me engaged every second (I read it super fast...it was that good). The dark humour told from the perspective of the virus made me think of books like Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and even Bridgette Jones Diary in the sense I LOL'd it was so funny. The characters were incredibly well developed while the story remained a quick pace. I wasn't bored for even one second. Seriously, this is such a good book and as an Indie author, I hope that Onianwa's book gets into the hands of more readers because it deserves recognition.
