"I know it's not easy to meet someone nice. Everybody wants to but no one seems good enough for anyone - and the less willing you are to compromise, the more alone you find yourself." All Gigi wants from life is to get through her work day with her sanity intact and maybe a little romance. She's a simple girl who wants simple things so when an old crush comes into town and her friend/boss (a friend who happens to also be a boss) seems determined to ruin her perfect marriage over him she would very much have liked to be left out of it - except for a few things: 1. Her friend (boss)'s old crush is her old crush too 2. Her friend (boss)'s actual hubby seems fixated on her 3. Her other friends give the worst advice 4. Someone is stalking her in her DMs Then there's the question: Just how messy can a simple girl's life can get over a simple kiss. A modern Nigerian romantic comedy about love, geishas, stalkers, Kpop and the fine art of updating your CV at work. SPECIAL NOTE: I really wanted to do something from where I'm from so this is a very contemporary Nigerian Romantic Comedy. As such, although it's written in English it also features Nigerian slangs, turns of phrase and references. I'll be happy to answer questions if you have any so don't feel afraid to ask! I hope you'll check it out and enjoy it :)

It's exam time but feisty Nigerian Secondary School (High School) Senior, Maro has more things to worry about than being weak at Math when a special "thing" is stolen from her - the thing that protects her life as a supernatural being called an Abiku - a thing that she wants back so badly that she dangerously enlists the help of a reincarnated witch, a Deity and a... cobbler? "Abiku is a Yoruba word that can be translated as "predestined to death". It is from (abi) "that which possesses" and (iku) "death". Abiku refers to the spirits of children who die before reaching puberty; a child who dies before twelve years of age being called an Abiku, and the spirit, or spirits, who caused the death being also called Abiku." - Wikipedia Basis of Cover Art: Sit Haiiro(SIT)... http://www.kaifineart.com/2015/04/sit-haiirosit.html This story is also published (except for the final chapter) on my blog: https://indigofm.wordpress.com/
