When 16-year-old Teslin Bello known to everyone as Tessy moves from Abuja to the flashy streets of Lekki after her politician father is transferred to Lagos, she expects boring traffic, spoiled rich kids, and a school full of strangers. What she doesn't expect is Ethan Brooks the charming white boy everyone seems obsessed with.
Desperate to fit into her elite new school, Tessy slowly begins changing herself. From the way she talks to the way she dresses, she starts becoming the kind of girl she thinks Ethan would want. But while she's busy chasing foreign validation, she begins drifting away from the people who truly care about her including Zara and Chi, the two friends trying to keep her grounded, and Teni, the boy she keeps pushing away.
As secrets, subtle racism, and social media pressure begin to crack the perfect image she built, Tessy is forced to ask herself one question:
How much of yourself can you lose before you stop recognizing who you are?
Set in the chaotic, glamorous heart of Lagos, Live Laugh Lekki is a coming-of-age story about identity, friendship, culture, and learning that being chosen means nothing if you abandon yourself in the process.
