A story of love triangles. 



A story of a young lady, Feyi Adekola, an artist who has been scarred by an unfortunate occurence that happened to her five years ago. 


This occurrence affected feyi so much that she could not go into relationship or get close to a man. She had to move away from town. It was a traumatising one. 


Feyi stays in an apartment with her best friend, Joy. The two ladies are like two peas in a pod, they tell each other every thing and joy has been feyi rock after the incident happened. Moving away to another city, and making wild decisions. This book is such a riveting read, it is short too, not up to 300 pages. 


Feyi met a guy named Milan at a party, she decides to try to have fun five years after that occurrence. She continues to see Milan but when Milan introduces feyi to his friends, she finds herself attracted to one of his friends, Nasir. 


Ah. Ehnehn. 

At this point, i thought i was reading porn and she was going to have a three-some with the two of them but Feyi stayed away and told Nasir off. 


She and Milan continued to see each other, a friends with benefits kind of relationship till she called it off.


Apparently, Joy had given Nasir, Feyi's number. 

I don't know why, but my mind never went with Nasir from the start. There was something fishy about him, like something simmering under the cool facade. 


From the moment Feyi and Nasir gets acquainted, it felt like slow ascension into bliss, ease, undeniable attraction, then descension into palpable tension, forbidden desire, chaos and family rift. 



The book is giving lomanceee, loveeee and sacrifice. 


It felt like the author was toasting the readers. I've stolen a couple of lines from this book btw, its such a sweet read.



Sweet girl in love meme. 



A 9/10 read for me.
