Little Rot: A Novel by Akwaeke Emezi

Certainly! Here's another take on summarizing the novel:

Akwaeke Emezi's latest novel, highly anticipated by critics and readers alike, delves into the dark and glamorous underbelly of a Nigerian metropolis.

Over the course of a single weekend, lives intertwine and unravel at an exclusive party where desires and secrets collide with devastating consequences.

Kalu, freshly broken-hearted after ending his long-term relationship with Aima, seeks solace at a decadent gathering hosted by his close friend Ahmed. Little does he know, his choice will set off a chain of events that shatters the fragile balance of their world.

Amidst the chaos, Ola and Souraya, Nigerian sex workers with their own agendas, find themselves drawn into a dangerous game of power and survival. As they navigate the city's murky underworld, they must confront their own desires and the ever-present threat that lurks in the shadows.

Emezi's narrative masterfully weaves together themes of love, betrayal, and ambition against the backdrop of a society teetering on the edge of moral collapse. Each character's journey is a gripping exploration of what it means to seek freedom and redemption in a world where danger lurks at every turn. ❤️📚❤️
