When a Nigerian woman falls for a man she knows will break her mother’s heart, she must choose between love and her family.

At twelve years old, Azere promised her dying father she would marry a Nigerian man and preserve her culture, even after immigrating to Canada. Her mother has been vigilant about helping—well forcing—her to stay within the Nigerian dating pool ever since. But when another match-made-by-mom goes wrong, Azere ends up at a bar, enjoying the company and later sharing the bed of Rafael Castellano, a man who is tall, handsome, and…white.

When their one-night stand unexpectedly evolves into something serious, Azere is caught between her feelings for Rafael and the compulsive need to please her mother. Soon, Azere can't help wondering if loving Rafael makes her any less of a Nigerian. Can she be with him without compromising her identity? The answer will either cause Azere to be audacious and fight for her happiness or continue as the compliant daughter.

If you love angst, and conflict created from protagonists refusing to communicate, plus a surprise pregnancy, then this is the book for you. The best part for me was learning more about Nigerian culture, and I loved that the setting is in Toronto, Canada

A book I wanted to love

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The good: great to have a story with black female lead. Great narration.

The bad: one dimensional characters, predictably bland story line. It's like the worst exponent of a Nollywood movie.

The ugly: moronic and infantile main character whom we are led to believe can sustain a successful career, but lacks the ability to think for herself.

Superficial and banal
