This was a weird read for me. I kept putting it down and picking it back up, so I definitely didn’t process all of it fully.
I was SHOCKED at the twist (I’ll put the spoilers in below) but I ate it up 😳
The content warnings will also be included in this review.
Akin and Yejide were so human and that always interests me in books; I’ve often seen too many ‘perfect’ characters that don’t feel real to me.
There were definitely peaks and troughs in this story, so I’m giving it 3.5 stars out of 5. Thank you ✨

The story talks about relationships, grief, betrayals, lies, respect, family, emotions and silences.
It also talks about, more concretely, of a woman and a man who wants to have children and have to battle obstacle after obstacle, outside and inside their marriage.
