Jessica touched on significant themes in this book, like family, mental health, grief, and having to adult at a very young age.

Baba Segi’s wives all led secret lives, and I loved how the author systematically wrote about it, which made me understand the story better and even enjoy it more.

This is a gorgeously written story of identity, sexuality, love, grief, friendship, and the need to live the life you want, even in a country where doing so might be deadly.

Parents must be physically and emotionally present in their children’s lives, keep an eye on them and not neglect them

It also brings to light people’s arguments for people who do not want kids. The overwhelming opinion in society is that such people will eventually grow out of the sentiment.

The book holds me softly, cuddly, and I am glad I decided to read it when I did. I was totally blown away, and for this reason, I totally recommend it.

The writing was very readable, with simple words and sentences that flowed easily.

This is a beautifully written story, a love story, an odyssey, and ultimately a tragedy. An undeniable stunner.

I highly recommend this book from the deepest part of my heart and soul, with my generation and gods backing me. This is a 5-star read and deserves all the flowers.

Nwabulu keeps me up a lot; I think of her struggles and pain, I see her, I see her story, and I live all the women who have been emptied off through her.

As usual, I have nothing but praise for Efua’s writing. It’s easy to read, and you’re sure to stay glued to the story.

Although I found relish in these authentic experiences, some essays were a sobering reminder of how much Nigerians have lost and the horrors it has gone through
