The Baby is Mine by Oyinkan Braithwaite

5.0

I've wanted this book for so long and I finally have it....but I was a bit nervous reading it as I am a new mummy.

Two women claiming to be baby Remi's mother, they are also in a feud with one another because the women were both seeing the same man. In fact one is the wife and one is the mistress of Folu.

Bambi has split with his girlfriend who he cheated on so decided to take refuge at his uncles house. His uncle passed away but the house still remains. When Bambi gets there he is stunned to see his aunt Bidemi, baby Remi and another woman called Esohe who is the mistress of his late uncle.

Bambi tries to get a maternity tests but they are in the middle of the pandemic so they aren't priority at the moment. Only time will tell who the boys mother is. Bambi decides to start looking after baby Remi in order to stop the two women squabbling over him. Then the truth emerges of which one if the ladies is Remi's mother. Both women are unfit as mothers; both as dangerous as the other, one made Remi bleed by trying to give him tribal marks on his face and the other made him really sick by giving him old spoiled milk.

Bambi decides enough is enough and leaves with baby Remi to give him a better life.

I throughly enjoyed this book it was very intriguing, fast paced and I couldn't put it down.
