Stay With Me-Book Review

I have not written on this page for so long. Every so often I come back to see what posts are being read most. Surprisingly the book reviews and natural hair stuff are what is being read mostly.

I belong to a book club!!! This has been a thing I wanted for so long.A positive that came from COVID is we learnt we can do so much without meeting physically.Hence the start of online book clubs with people you have never met. I am in  Sharon`s and Patricia`s book club. Its known as Chasing Paper Books. The girls choose a book each month and host a live on their page every last Saturday of the month to discuss the book. Its a nice book club.A lot of the books are really good and the pressure to  finish books before the live is not bad.It makes me read more 😊😊.

Stay with me is the February book for Chasing Paper Books. I enjoyed this book. Its so very interesting and sometimes I was up late reading it. Wanting to know what happens next. Hoping for the best for Yejide.

This book tells the story of a couple Yejide and Akin. Who have such a romantic story about how they met and got married. In alternate chapters they each tell their story. Same story from different people who society tells us should have the same story as they are married. I found it sad and unexpected. Good thing it has a happy ending. It has major plot twists.This books also covers Nigeria` political history.

Reading it at one point I thought the author could make it slightly happier. All through it I was rooting for Yejide to get her happy ending. I loved how Yejide told Olamide her first daughter stories, how she was such a present mum in Sesan`s life,that she had a successful business and that Akin supported her business. I loved how Iya Bolu wanted her daughters to study and become doctors.

It`s definetly a page turner but its not a book you read when you want to feel light or hopeful.

What books are you loving? last year I loved Elif Shafak`s-Ten minutes and 38 seconds in this strange world the most.
