Korede is bitter. How could she not be? Her sister, Ayoola, is many things: the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola's third boyfriend in a row is dead. Korede's practicality is the sisters' saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood, the trunk of her car is big enough for a body, and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures of her dinner to Instagram when she should be mourning her "missing" boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit. A kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where Korede works is the bright spot in her life. She dreams of the day when he will realize they're perfect for each other. But one day Ayoola shows up to the hospital uninvited and he takes notice. When he asks Korede for Ayoola's phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and what she will do about it. Sharp as nails and full of deadpan wit, Oyinkan Braithwaite has written a deliciously deadly debut that's as fun as it is frightening.

"A literary sensation." GUARDIAN

My Sister, the Serial Killer was a quick and interesting read. It’s dark, unsettling and, at times, surprisingly funny, which gave the story a very distinctive tone.

I particularly enjoyed the complicated relationship between Korede and Ayoola. The contrast between the two sisters kept me interested, especially as Korede constantly finds herself protecting Ayoola and dealing with the consequences of her actions.

The story is fast-paced and easy to listen to, while doing other things around the house, and I liked the way it explores themes of family, loyalty, jealousy and how far we are willing to go for the people we love.

That said, I think I was expecting a little more from the story. The premise is definitely intriguing, but I didn't connect with it quite as much as I hoped I would, and some aspects felt a little underdeveloped for me.

Overall, it was an entertaining and unusual read, with a memorable premise and a fascinating relationship at its centre.

3.5/5 ⭐️ — a quick, dark and different read, but not a favourite for me.

Dark, entertaining, but not quite a favourite

Inconclusive stories are not my liking and this review does not reflect the quality of the book, but the way it made me feel. I didnt like it. I love the background, it is refreshing to hear a story in a different setting, the characters around and the setting are great. the story is the problem for me. It is serious in an unserious way and a no no for me.

Not what I was expecting
