Korede’s sister Ayoola is many things: the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola’s third boyfriend in a row is dead, stabbed through the heart with Ayoola’s knife.
Korede’s practicality is the sisters’ saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood (bleach, bleach, and more bleach), the best way to move a body (wrap it in sheets like a mummy), and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures to Instagram when she should be mourning her “missing” boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit.
Korede has long been in love with a kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where she works. She dreams of the day when he will realize that she’s exactly what he needs. But when he asks Korede for Ayoola’s phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and how far she’s willing to go to protect her.

This book was a very quick read and I enjoyed it a lot! I kept laughing out loud while reading it and had to quote passages to my mom when she would ask what was so funny.
It's full of dark humour, but still reads light despite the tragic circumstances (no spoilers here, the title says it all). While reading you might feel irritation or even anger at the carelessness, childishness and egoism of the two sisters. Yet you still end up with a fuzzy warm feeling towards them (at least I did). Love concurs all, especially when it's the unconditional kind reserved for closest family members.
Sharp little novel, bitter and funny. Think I will give it to my sister for Christmas.
