The Death of Book Club Kiki

From Maame's beginning until its end a darkness came over all the land. At about the millionth reading of a Google search result Kiki cried out in a loud voice, “Book club, book club,[a] lema sabachthani?” (which means “Book club, my book club, why have you forsaken me?”).

When some of those watching her stories heard this, they said, “She should have DNFed it.”

Immediately one of them ran and showed her all of Maame's 4 and 5 star Goodreads ratings, and told her it was very relatable. The rest said, “Now leave her alone. Let’s see if the book club discussion will save this.”

And when the narrator said, "We hope you have enjoyed this production of-" Kiki cried out again in a loud voice, she gave up her spirit.
