Really enjoyed this romance novel. Set in Nigeria and Seattle, we follow the 12 year love story of Obinna and Dunni. Meeting in secondary school with an intense and irreplaceable love, Dunni’s family sends her to university in America, separating she and Obinna. Despite promises to stay in touch and make it work, Dunni doesn’t hear from Obinna for 12 years until they run into each other at a friend’s wedding. Faced with each other and their past & present decisions, Dunni and Obinna decide to see if they can make it work, despite the obstacles & secrets thrown at each other along the way.
My only thing that made me cringe slightly is the sex scenes between them as teenagers. As a mom of teens and an adult woman, it’s just not my favorite thing to read.
