Rich collection of short stories. despite the fact that I usually prefer a whole story or interconnected short ones this collection was a page turner.

Each story had enough content to be a stand alone, despite being short stores their individual stories were beefy. Exciting, humorous, shocking content that at times left my jaw on the floor! I went through a wave of laughter and phrases such as “welp, you see men, Lordy lord lol

I would highly recommend this book!

That was an enjoyable experience. Each story brought me to unexpected directions with how they approached modern day relationships in Lagos. The characters range from working class to office workers to social media influencers and even some upper class characters. I easily breezed through each story and getting excited about how the next one would unfold. Some humor, satire, and wit peppered here and there.

Crazy stories but very realistic. Men are mad

These stories were very enjoyable. I didn’t expect the last one; did I miss a trigger warning somewhere? Maybe.
It’s sad that such heartbreak exists and that a lot of people have gone through it.
The upside is at least we’re not alone! That there is also the side of strength and perseverance that encourages bravery in times of pain.
