Stay with Me by Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀
5.0
“I shut my eyes as one receiving a benediction. Inside me something unfurls, joy spreads through my being, unfamiliar yet unquestioned, and I know that this too is a beginning, a promise of wonders to come.”
I don’t want to let this book go. I feel like I deserve more from the author. How did Yejide and Rotimi build their relationship? What did they talk and laugh about? As I thought more about the nature of their budding relationship, tears flowed down my eyes. I cried and let myself cry even more.
Yejide is a heroine, a brave woman that almost lost it all. To see her have this joy at the end felt so fulfilling and deserved. She has earned it and the author rightfully doled out what she deserved. The betrayal, deception, agony, grief, anguish and loss of her many years in life will finally take a back seat to her joy and merited euphoria.
I’m thankful to Ayobami Adebayo for such a beautiful work of fiction. It’s always a delight to read her work.
