Lola Sodipo (It's the year 1999)
I grew up without much and at 19, I have had to work for everything I have - an education, the few clothes on my back and the meals I can afford.
Yet, life feels unfair and I have to wage war against things that get in my way like my pervy Lecturer and the bunch of dreaded cultists in my school for instance.
However, I have fought all my life and I will win this battle. Still, I am not prepared for the battle against my own feelings when the dangerous, rich kid and resident Playa, Tokunbo Carew comes into the picture.
I don't know what to do when he insists on protecting me especially when I don't know how to protect myself from his charms. Yet, when the biggest battles of our lives come calling both of us have to decide what's worth saving. Even if it looks like we'd be crushed regardless of the choice(s) we make. ~ That '99 Love (Tomilola Coco Adeyemo)
