What a Time to Be Alone: The Slumflower's Guide to Why You Are Already Enough by Chidera Eggerue
3.0
I loved the artwork, the Igbo proverbs and their explanations which truly make this book unique.
However, this is one of the books I would’ve cherished when I was a teen, but which doesn’t convince me now. The advices are all kind of flat and won’t surprise you if you’re a fairly confident person. I feel like this makes a good coffee table book or a nice present for your teen niece who goes through her first heartbreak, but it’s not necessarily a self-help guide I particularly enjoyed, although it encouraged me to search for other books which elaborate on Igbo culture.
