When Korede's dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister, Ayoola, she knows what's expected of her: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel and a strong stomach. This'll be the third boyfriend Ayoola's dispatched in, quote, self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away. She should probably go to the police for the good of the menfolk of Nigeria, but she loves her sister and, as they say, family always comes first. Until, that is, Ayoola starts dating the doctor where Korede works as a nurse. Korede's long been in love with him, and isn't prepared to see him wind up with a knife in his back: but to save one would mean sacrificing the other...

This book was frustrating to me.

The story was ok. The premise was interesting. But there were so many moments that I was hoping I could shake some sense through the book. I get familiar pressures to basically sacrifice yourself for your family and everything, I really do. But Korede would literally sit there and let her sister do something that would be hurtful and cause issues and not say anything about it and then get mad because Ayoola was not stopping it. She put herself into situations by not standing up for herself at all and they would get mad that she was in the situation and start lashing out at people outside of her family.

It wasn't horrible, it just frustrated me enough that I couldn't care about the characters. At least it was a short read, though.
