This book was painful for the first half. The main character’s anxiety & brokenness at the beginning was almost unbearable! Fortunately, the story unfolded in a manner that wasn’t painful.

You don’t have to be of the culture to appreciate the culture. Although I’m not South Asian, I REALLY enjoyed this story! This is the second installment in this trilogy. It centers around the best friend Bobbi & The Naan Prince, Benjamin. The love story, mixed with wonderful descriptions of food mixed with a who done it, made this story even better than the first in this series!

Sure… It would make a great Hallmark movie. The characters were well developed & the story has a great vibe!

Bolu’s writing is lyrical and rich with description that is positively decadent. I tried to listen to this book during every available free moment until done. The performance was spot on & only added to the experience. LOVED IT!

This story of Yinka’s evolution IS a love story, but about loving one’s self. The story line about her family was pretty classically Nollywood, but the twists & turns of Yinka’s evolution had me want to keep going.

The story was somewhat entertaining; however, it was really difficult to build sustainable interest because the narrator was so bad. Incorrect Inflection, inappropriate intonation, and incorrectly used words abounded. If this is the same narrator for the next book I’m the series, I don’t think I’ll read it.

I love reading a little romance now and again... Especially when the make out scenes make you ready for the sex scenes. Definitely when the sex scenes make you a little breathless! It was a fun book with a cute story that I devoured happily.

Trevor Noah’s reading of his own book brought it to life for me. His words were insightful, honest, and meaningful. His explanation of the “Black Tax” was spot on. His history lessons about apartheid & their similarities to segregation were tragically true and clear. Thank you for writing such an eloquent book!
