Not at all the funny rom-com I thought this would be. This book is HEAVY. Tons of emotional topics. Suicide, eating disorders, family lies, affairs, you name it, it is in this book. Even though it was not the light book I wanted or thought it was, I was rooting for Teeny and Melly. They had issues and hard lives, but they were each other's other half. The book didn't need all of the hardships that the characters went through. But life is hard. I also wish there was more of Noah, he seemed to just have been thrown in there.

Wow, this was just wow. Such good twists, really developed characters and great settings. I highly recommend this book, especially this year when you need a good book to get lost in.

This book had such a good premise and I am such a lover of a cultural romance. But, blah. I couldn't get into the characters. They were almost too complex with everything they had going on. It was like the author couldn't decide what background to give the main characters. They just seemed blah. I loved the culture and learning about Nigerian culture, but that's about it.

This second book in the series was so much slower than the first. Not much occurred in the first 300 pages of the book other than character build up and a history lesson, both of which I appreciated, but honestly could have taken only 150 pages. The last 100 pages almost redeemed it, but not quite. Hopefully the third installment is a bit more fast paced.
