"This book was a 3/5 , but I really loved Walker and his story "

"THE BEST BOOK IN THE SERIES. "

"While I was reading this book, I KNEW I would have SO much to say about it. I had so much to say about it, think about it, feel about it the entire time I was reading it. <br/>It has been a long, long, lonnnnng while since I read a book whose author just made me want to *chef's kiss* with her writing. Ayobami tells the story with an astounding pace, so much so that you are often surprised why this book is only so long. Because, honestly, I think it could have done with a bit more length. Not an extension in the story, but more time to sit with the story while the characters went from one cathartic tragedy to another. <br/><br/>Don't get me wrong, I loved it. Absolutely, amazingly, truly loved it. - the pace, the deceits, the twists (although I don't think you'd be really surprised by any - The twists are for the characters , mostly Yejide, not for the reader - they are crafted in a way that you feel they were never supposed to deceit you anyway) <br/><br/>But still, inspite of all the tragedy and the drama(and trust me, there was a lot of both), I always felt like I was just on the verge of tears, just on the verge of my heart breaking, just one line away from feeling all the pain that Yejide and Akin are going through, but I am never actually pushed over that cliff. It could have been done by just being a *liiiiiitle* bit more descriptive. Love the dialogue and story.. just needed a bit more time to sit with the repercussions of what all actually was going on. <br/><br/>Also, I am a fan of political distress being a part of story and affecting the lives of the characters even when it's in the background, and it does happen here. But quite a few times, during this read, I felt the politics was too far away from the lives of these people suffering from things far too personal to care about the elections. It does tie together a bit at the end, but...I dunno. I feel there was either opportunity lost or it could have been done without being so overt. <br/><br/>Overall, I LOVED this book. I probably would re-read this sometime in the future. Definite recommendation for those needing a high family-marriage-relationship drama but not too flowery with the words. It feels like you're in a car about to crash, and dread and adrenaline are pumping together in your veins."

"This book was nothing like I expected it would be - it was much darker. It was really interesting how it dealt with Nigerian culture and the pressures of producing a child. I would say it is a solid 4.5 stars but I will round up just because I could not put it down."

"great great read! got lost for hours"

"I give this book 4 1/2 stars. In my opinion this was the best book Mila Gray wrote. For me the first page of the book grabbed my attention immediately and I was hooked the story as well as the character were well written. I really enjoyed reading this book and plan to reread it soon. "

"my fav book ever read it twice!!"

"Enjoyed reading. "

"One of the best books... Ever. "
