I loved the idea of exploring romantic relationships through the lenses of the five Nigerian couples enrolled in a marriage orientation class. Each member had a unique personality - with some being more memorable than others- and following the  dynamics of each relationship made for a mostly fun, hilarious and engaging read. Yet, I really struggled to keep up with some of them because of the way the narrative was structured. I also wasn’t feeling some of the conflict resolutions between the couples.

At the end of the day, I think a lot more couples than those three should have parted ways but I was happy to see that we got a more realistic ending than the conventional HEA.
