My Sister, The Serial Killer
By Oyinkan Braithwaite Book Review Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ I honestly read this book so fast I inhaled it. I will have to do an annual re-read of this book. It’s exactly what you hope and want from a gorgeous black and neon green cover – shocking, in your face, and humor thrown in. It is…
