"Some stories begin with fate, Mine began with a reel".
I never planned to become a basketball fan.
If you had asked me two years ago to name three NBA teams, I would have stared at you like you had asked me to solve advanced chemistry.
But life has a funny way of introducing people to things they never expected.
Mine came in the form of a seven-foot-four French basketball player and an Instagram algorithm that clearly had plans of its own.

Almost, Maybe Us
Three years ago, they chose distance over destruction. Now, they're back in the same room-no longer lovers, just professionals tied together by a merger that refuses to stay business. Iremide built a life on control. Numbers make sense. People don't. And Khalid Kareem-the man who once decided what she deserved to know-belongs firmly in her past. But some things don't stay buried. Not when he's standing across from her, looking like everything he promised to become. Not when his silence still speaks louder than his words. Not when the same secrets that broke them are back-sharper, deeper, and impossible to ignore. This time, there are no almosts. No maybes. Just truth. And the question they never really answered- Was loving each other ever the problem... or was it how they did it?Concluida
Faithe {REWRITING} ✓
#4 in tas #1 in Abeokuta Dedicated to all Africans who are depressed and suffer PTSD. How exactly do you explain to an African parent that you need help? Do Africans even care about the state of their mental health? How do I tell others how I feel or about my nightmares without them thinking I'm mentally unstable? Everywhere, "seek help." How exactly? All these questions bother me so much that they give me problems. Even if he agrees that I need help, everyone would see me as a psychiatric patient, as the mentally unstable girl. "I keep blaming myself for all that has happened. I mean, how could I not have seen it coming? She was practically my best friend and close to me. If only I had opened my eyes wide enough and looked closer, I would have known and probably done something. We had a fight, we didn't settle it. Before I knew it, she was gone. It upsets me more. This has been haunting me for over a year. Can I ever be normal?" #39 in stereotype #62 in insomnia #82 in singleparent #568 in nightmares #72 in African #2 in tcs #16 in secondaryschool #111 in Nigerian #28 in Yoruba #7 in middleclass On 19 September, 2020Concluida

White Roses for a Reason (The Nwaeze Twins #1)
Myra Nwaeze (25) is the founder of Myra Events, one of Lagos's most sought-after event planning companies. She is sharp, composed, and relentlessly capable - a woman who has built something real from nothing and carries the weight of it daily. She is also, underneath all of that, a lover girl to her core: someone who believes in the spark, who loves deeply when she loves, and who has learned - through experience - to guard that depth carefully. When her close high school friend Ada Okoli asks her to plan the biggest wedding of her career, Myra takes the job with her usual thoroughness. Ada's family is old money. Her mother, the formidable Mrs. Okoli, has been quietly grooming Myra as a potential match for her eldest son Chidi - charming, handsome, and exactly the kind of man Myra has spent years learning to step around. What nobody accounts for is the other son. Uche Okoli (30) is an architect who spent thirteen years building his life in New York before a drunk driver changed everything six months ago. The accident left him with scars, a walking stick, and a leg that may never fully recover. It also left him with PTSD, anxiety, and an acute sense of unworthiness that he has been managing - poorly - since he returned to Lagos a month before the novel opens. He is quiet, patient, and perceptive in the way of someone who has stopped expecting good things and pays very close attention to anything that resembles one. Their first meeting is thirty seconds of professional courtesy and cold efficiency on her part. She finds him unsettling in a way she files immediately under irrelevant. He finds her coldness fascinating in a way he cannot explain. The problem is that they keep ending up in the same rooms - at the engagement dinner, in the village compound for the traditional wedding, at the Lekki mansion during white wedding preparations - and thirty seconds becomes something neither of them planned for.Concluida
