Ololade Bankole is used to holding back - from her strict mother, from the expectations of others, and especially from the ache of an absent father. As a 19-year-old university student juggling dreams and disappointment, her world feels like a constant balancing act between who she is and who she's allowed to be.
Then comes Nicholas Emezino Ukachi - charming, composed, and everything she shouldn't want. He's her coursemate, her emotional mirror, and her biggest temptation. But in a world where love doesn't always equal freedom, their connection becomes a dangerous dance of near-confessions and missed chances.
Set in a Nigerian university, In-Between is a tender, heart-wrenching story of longing, restraint, and the messy spaces between "just friends" and "something more." As emotions blur and lines are crossed, Ololade and Nicholas must decide if love is worth risking the very things holding them together - or tearing them apart.
Jannah, a third-year college student, shoulders the weight of her life's burdens. Every day is a battle to balance her academic life with the emotional turmoil within.
Then she is paired with Lucas, the university's star athlete who is also known for being a heartbreaker. Unexpectedly, she finds solace in him-a reckless escape from her troubled life. What begins as an academic partnership becomes something more: a relationship that's limited to physical intimacy.
