The Lagos Wife by Vanessa Walters
challenging
tense
slow-paced
3.75
This is one of those books that is well written with an important story to tell, but it’s not for me. As in, it literally was not written for me.
I’m glad I read it, I feel I gained something from learning about such interesting cultures and perspectives so far removed from my own. It was difficult for me to read at points, but I still felt compelled to see how the story ends and it didn’t disappoint.
