This book is about a woman who just lost her husband to suicide, and having recently lost a friend to suicide, it wasn’t the right choice. Proceed with caution if you’ve lost a loved one or have any difficulty with mentions of suicide. Â
The grief in this book is overwhelming. It’s like you’re swimming in the ocean and all of a sudden you’re being pummeled by wave after wave with no relief or break to come up for air. It feels like drowning. Â
There wasn’t much else in this book except the processing of her grief and I just wasn’t ready. Â

 Eve has lost her beloved husband, Quentin, to suicide. She found him. There was no note.
 We are taken through her agony and grief, and get to know her family and friends as they struggle to keep her above water.
 Eve goes through all the reactions from missing Q, to feeling abandoned and guilty for not knowing the "why", and reminiscing about their life together. All the while dealing with one of the more contentious inlaw relationships put to page.
 "Closure is not promised. It is a gift, and my husband chose to keep it from me."
 Despite the subject matter, Someday, Maybe is also darkly wry.Â
 It's also a look into the different cultures that made up Eve and Quentin's relationship, with Eve's close-knit Nigerian family contrasting Quentin's aloof and unsupportive dynamic.
 To sum up, Nwabineli's writing feels absolutely effortless and the characters are brilliantly created. So pleased to have made this my first BOTM pick. Recommended!
