I really enjoyed this one! There were many different facets to it and it's a story richer and more complex than it may seem at first glance, and I’m always appreciative of books set in Nigeria and featuring Nigerian culture, traditions, and customs.
I was hoping to love it even more but I didn't fully connect with the characters and some of their actions and I wasn't as emotionally impacted as I thought I would be.
It's definitely one to check out if the themes of motherhood, family, marriage, and what it means to love are some of your favourites!
