.This book was such a delight and a beauty to behold. Every single part of this book was executed so well; the plot, the characters, Jane's writing style, ugh! this book literally Swept me off my Feet,I loved that this book tackled the issue of abandoment with so much grace. my fav part about this read was how every page and chapter put the african culture on display. 80% of all that was talked about in this book felt so close to home. My fav charader in this book was Tiwa.Jane executed her character to perfection. I will definitely be looking forward to reading more books by Jane igharo. This books is perfect for lovers of african contemporary novels and all fans of "Friends to lovers" This is one hell of a book and yes! I highly recommend…..

This was an easy, lighthearted romance with the added interest of being primarily set in Nigeria. I appreciated learning about Nigerian culture through Hannah and her new experiences. Overall though, it was just an okay book. Interpersonal issues were wrapped up too quickly and cleanly. And a few of the relationships in the book were unconventional in a way that could make some people uncomfortable - including a relationship between an older man and a woman who he had known since childhood. Strictly speaking nothing untoward had taken place and the strangeness of the relationship(s) are addressed to varying degrees, but I can see others having an issue with it. All in all, it's a pleasant vacation read if you're into books about romance and family drama.
