RECAP AND REVIEW

Thank you to the author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Out now!

This is the second book in an interconnected romance series set in Nigeria, told from the first person of both Iriah and Udoka.

In my mind (not the layout) this book is broken up into three sections and the middle was the most interesting part to me.

Iriah is the daughter of a multibillionaire with a trust fund and makes millions working. Udoka is a workaholic who started a profitable business as a celebrity manager, but his wealth doesn’t compare.

Getting both of their perspectives allowed me to understand and sympathize with where they were both coming from. Ego, pride, and self-sufficiency were at play, but I don’t think either of them were wrong. They just weren’t communicating effectively because they were both only dealing with surface-level feelings.

Like most things, what was fracturing their marriage was deeper than it appeared to be on the surface. That mixed with the opinions of their families made things more complicated.

Seeing them unpack the root of their problems and work on their marriage was satisfying. I felt the animosity and resentment that builded up, but I also felt the love and adoration they had for each other. I felt like they did eventually understand each other and grow in their own right.
