His Only Wife by Peace Adzo Medie
5.0
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was such an easy read and really easy to get sucked into.
I loved the commentary on the sacrifices women are often called to make for the sake of making everyone else happy. This also kinda hit home for me bc there were aspects of Afi that were leaning towards trying to keep the peace and do all that’s asked of her, even if that meant ignoring the parts of her that felt a way. I love how this book spoke to how society can see women as disposable and their sole purpose being to please others.
I was amazed and found myself marking several pages to revisit later because it was so timely and so real.
Loved it!
