The Changing Man | Tomi Oyemakinde
Mehso-so

This was a novel I struggled with a little. I didn‘t feel as though I could connect with the characters; so many of them were childish and petty, and frankly annoying at times. They didn‘t act how I would expect privileged kids to, which made it hard to really care about anything that was happening to them. The narrative overall fell a little flat and didn‘t deliver the way I had hoped it would based on the synopsis and prologue.
