Book Review…Where We End & Begin by Jane Igharo
Before leaving to America for college Dunni and Obinna vowed to find their way back to each other one day. Twelve years later, and their vow is a thing of the past. While returning to Nigeria for a friend's wedding they run into each other. The shy, awkward boy she loved as a teenager is now a sophisticated, confident man. Things have changed, but there's still an undeniable connection between them. As they rediscover each other, their days filled with desire and passion, Dunni is reminded of the beautiful future she once planned with Obinna. But when devastating secrets are revealed and the reckless actions of their past bring new challenges, she's left questioning everything, including if the love that consumed her as a teenager is still worth holding on to.
It was a nice second chance romance! I really liked Dunni's character and Obinna the complimented each other. The romance between Dunni and Obinna was one that I enjoyed especially Dunni you could tell and feel how much she loved and cared for him but with Obinna for some reason I didn't feel the same with him. But other then that it was a good book! Thank you Let's Talk Books, Berkley Books and Jane Igharo for sharing this book with me!

as soon as i saw "second chance romance by Jane Igharo," i knew it'd be 5 stars. i've read all her books so far, and it's safe to say she writes flawed characters so well. her romance novels are always more than just romance novels. i get so invested in Igharo's characters and the situations they get themselves into, and everything is so realistic and fleshed out. i love how she incorporates Nigerian language and culture throughout her books, and this one was no exception. this was so difficult to put down; i can't wait to see what she releases next!

Star-crossed, second-chance lovers? This was intense for starters. I, overall, really enjoyed the back and forth of the past and present.
I received an ecopy of this through Netgalley; however, all opinions are my own

There was ALOT happening in this book and I'm not yet sure if that's good or bad, might be both but that did not stop me from getting enraptured in this story! I enjoyed it!
Don't go in expecting a ton romance, as I'm learning about Jane's novels. The titles are suggestive of some spice and pinning but what we get are family secrets, failed relationships, second chances, complicated parent/child relationships, questionable decision making and some very strong frienships.
I listenedd to the audio and enjoyed the narration and the dual timelime writing as we getting to know the characters' backgrounds more.
