Summary

Have you fallen for this international best-selling novelist's sizzling hot entrance into the world of romance?

It's the opportunity of a lifetime:

Feyi is about to be given the chance to escape the City’s blistering heat for a dream island holiday: poolside cocktails, beach sunsets, and elaborate meals. And as the sun goes down on her old life our heroine also might just be ready to open her heart to someone new....

The only problem is, she's falling for the one man she absolutely can’t have.

I liked it

Overall very good. I enjoyed the plot, though I found the evolution of some relationships a little unrealistic. I’ll look out for more by this author for sure.

Complex relationships

Lust, life, death, grief and relationships…complicated and will captured in this story. Your emotions go up and down, and it’s difficult to predict what’s next. Life can be deep and complex…listen.

Everything A Contemporary Romance Novel Should Be

This was my first Akwaeke Emezi novel and it has acted, as the perfect introduction to this Author's work.

Contemporary, pacey and accurately observed in all aspects. Not to mention incredibly sexy in the best possible way. This is everything a contemporary romance should be. Although it has to be said, I found Feyi's final relationship choice questionable and problematic; to say the very least. Bahni Turpin's narration style was also a perfect fit for this Audiobook. Thoroughly enjoyable, and highly recommended!

Addictive, entertaining, compelling listen

Am only half-way through but so enthusiastic about this listen I had to share…

I like well crafted literary writing and this is well written but in a different way from what I normally dip into. This is all about some utterly sassy, convincing, lead protagonists. It’s dominated by dazzling good dialogue: vibrant, authentic which weaves around the storytelling.

It’s all about relationships, two fabulous friends whose interactions are believable, touching, and make you laugh out loud at times. It’s about discovery of love, which avenue will she ultimately reside in I’ve as yet to see, but I’m drinking every word in. It moves so naturally you could easily miss the craft and skill of the author, but on the other hand that’s why it works so well,

Highly recommend.
Will seek out other work by Emezi straight after…

Thank you for this reminder that we live

What a beautiful testimony to love post survival, a connection that reminds us all that we are alive, even if it never lasts. I loved this. A reminder we live past grief.
