The Death of Vivek Oji

Set in Nigeria, this is Vivek's coming of age story, a bittersweet exploration of gender identity, familial relationships, and the nature of love, and of loss. I am so completely in love with Akwaeke Emezi's writing. It is magical. This is an important book, one that should grace the shelves of every high school library, and be read by every parent of a trans or non-binary child <3
