Murdering Romance, a fascinating and nostalgic narration, is a story about Mukami, a woman who wanted to experience an actual authentic moment of genuine love and call it her own.

This engrossing masterpiece delves deep into several themes, including domestic violence, toxic masculinity, femininity, absentee parents and abuse, among others.

Often there is a gulf of difference between fiction and non-fiction, but in Murdering Romance, the dissimilarity between the two is too blurred to discern. The most disturbing of these accounts is a relationship with 'Peanut Man,' an experience treated as best as it can be; ballsy yet sensitively. Some say that the Peanut Man's saga should be an entire book plot on its own, complete with a therapy session for the character.

Delve into the read and discover how exactly Mukami's romantic life was murdered.
