I absolutely loved this book.🥹It was so beautiful, soft and the cutest thing. 

It also had a perfect balance between capturing the reality of being queer in Nigeria and also the joy of falling in love in a safe, warm and welcoming environment. I adored Teniade and Stefan so much.🥹Watching them navigate their personal struggles both separately and together really tugged at my heartstrings.💕

Also, Teniade and Stefan’s chemistry is amazing. And the way they loved and catered to each other? So beautiful to the point where i actually felt jealous of them.🥹😭

The romantic gestures? Too cute.

The only issues i had with this book were the excessive presence of pop culture, and the uneven pacing of the book, and the romantic development. There were times where I felt out of the loop because I had missed some parts of their bonding moments. Some of them, which I considered important to show us(the reader) were off page and it sort of affected my reading experience a little.

Regardless, it’s still such a beautiful story and I adore these characters.

Also, his sister, Jola is such a wonderful character and i can’t wait to read her story.
