Between graduation and goodbye

Between Graduation and Goodbye follows Riley, an SS3 student caught between the joy of graduation and the weight of unfinished WAEC exams, whose school life has been reshaped by the aftermath of the COVID-19 lockdown. As responsibilities shift to younger students and his own days in the hostel grow quieter, Riley finds comfort in his deepening bond with Emily, a classmate whose charm and unpredictability keep him grounded. Set against the vibrant backdrop of a Nigerian boarding school, the novel captures the bittersweet journey of teenage love, friendship, and the uncertainty of stepping into adulthood, where every laugh, quarrel, and shared secret feels like both a beginning and a goodbye.
