The so called society forgets the struggles of the "unmarried girl" what she goes through emotionally, what she thinks, things she has to do to keep a relationship just to be married, decisions they make to make people around them happy, but the truth is every single girl has a story good or bad and all she needs is someone not to judge but to have a little empathy and know that she didn't plan her life. This book however is a fictional but relatable story, the story is about four young girls who have been more of sisters than friends for so many years, in good times and bad times. Their friendship was what they have for each other but like many friendships it was tested. Was it that their love wasn't love after all or was their bond not strong enough? In the end these girls made decisions that broke the ties, what they built and the future of their sisterhood. They become victims of a desperate society that keeps asking"who is The Next Bride".Complete

The Grey In Black And White {COMPLETED}
The teenage period is usually not always easy. You make mistakes, you learn from them. It's like a moulding phase towards adulthood, which tends to be harder than adults make it sound. Especially in this generation. Growing up in a society where having a psychological condition means you're a freak, abnormal or an attention seeker. Where gender inequality is still seen as normal and right. Where anything other than Heterosexuality means you're possessed or the spawn of the devil. Where showing your emotions as a guy means you're soft and weak, because toxic masculinity isn't seen as a problem. Also, having anything to do that's related to these "atrocities" means you're set for an even bigger social stigma. Being a teenager becomes harder than hard. Just a group of teenagers trying to find a place for themselves in midst of a backward society, realising that life can't be all black and white. Growing in an African home is hard but what's harder is being a Nigerian. O le gán. "It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you're not." -André GideComplete
