vdjohn22 's review for:
Ties That Tether
by Jane Igharo
Where to begin? What do you do when your father is on his death bed and makes you promise to marry an Edo Nigerian man? I mean Azere is only 12 at the time of this promise. Now fast forward 13 years later and her mom is setting her up on dates with any Edo man she can think of. Azere is not fond of any of them. In this book the author unpacks the difficulty of not wanting to disappoint your parents, but also trying to find peace and comfort in your own decisions. Azere seemingly falls for a white man but has to keep it a huge secret because she knows that her family will disown her. To follow her heart or to follow tradition? That is the question. I instantly fell in love with the back and forth banter of the characters and enjoyed Azere coming into her own. Please read so we can discuss further. I dont want to write any spoilers, but this was a page turner. I read it in less than 24 hours. ENJOY!
