A riveting story!!!!!!!!
Loved the story as a whole. The introduction of characters the expression of culture through food, language and people. The relatability of all the characters and how there are elements of yourself in each one of them.
A must read!!!!!

Quite good actually!
I thought it was a great relatable story, even at my age of 30 I resonate with what it was like having an overprotective mother growing up and I thought the reader did well overall, it’s not easy playing so many characters so well done to her. The accents were manageable but I was a little disappointed in the pidgin and the little Yoruba she did have use though it was not easy on the ears at all.
Looking forward to book 2 sha
