Four days. One marriage. One flight across the world. And a girl trying to figure out who she is between two countries.
Seventeen-year-old Rami thought she had her life planned out in Nigeria finish school, graduate, and move on to the next chapter.
But in the space of four days, everything changes.
Her mum marries an American man, and suddenly Rami finds herself moving across the world to start a new life in the United States.
New house. New culture. New school.
Through the pages of her private journal, Rami records the thoughts she can't say out loud - the culture shocks, awkward moments, family tension, and the quiet struggle of finding where she truly belongs.
Because sometimes the biggest changes in life happen when you least expect them.

PERFECT MATCH

Her rebellion and self willed nature led to her marriage to a total stranger. It was her father's best way of protecting her, his antidote to tame her. For Mabel, she had no choice but to walk into it but she did have an escape plan. He is handsome, sexy, rich and everything an eligible bachelor should be; only that he had no plans in mind for himself. He couldn't go against his father's decisions and commands, the whole purpose of his existence was loyalty for the sake of his family and the business. That was what his father had taught him, he was his father's shadow. Their parents thought they would match each other.
