This story has so much potential. The plot idea and what happens are intriguing but not developed enough. The Baby is Mine would have needed a lot more fleshing out. The framing is there but not used. So we end up with characters one can't emotionally connect to, relationships that don't really matter and a plot that could leave you breathless but doesn't.

Oyinkan Braithwaite has a talent of finding interesting concepts but isn't able to let them reach their full potential. As this is the second time her writing let me down, I won't be picking up any further books by her.
