Stay with Me is not memorable though the ending was SHOCKING. Yejide and Akin struggle with infertility issues which results in them entering into polygamy, forced upon them by Akin's mother. Yejide desires so badly to be a mother, yet she also wishes for Akin to be solely loyal to her. Akin has no desire to have a second wife, yet they take one.

At times the book stays stuck in a loop of the characters making the same choices, but it keeps you reading. Once again when I tell you the ending had me HOT, it had me HOT. Throughout the book, Abedayo throws these shocking plot points at the reader which moves the plot along. Those points kept my intrigue peaked when I felt like perhaps putting the book down. The plot is character-based. It is straight forward and there's not much descriptive text.

Stay with Me deals with many themes woven into the text. There are Nigerian politics and culture meshed together in the background of the narrative. I wish I could put my finger one what exactly was lacking for me.
