Fatimah is a young Nigerian Muslim girl-curious, stubborn, and a little too willing to follow her instincts.
After moving overseas, loneliness and a desperate need for someone she could trust led her into a relationship that would shape her life in ways she never expected. For nearly three years, she built her future around one person, only for it all to come crashing down. Now, almost two months after the breakup, she is left trying to heal from a heartbreak she never saw coming.
One night, out of boredom, curiosity, or maybe something deeper, Fatimah searches for her ex's name on Snapchat and sends a friend request to a complete stranger who happens to share it.
What starts as a random conversation soon becomes something she can't ignore.
The stranger is Nigerian too-a detail that immediately puts her on guard. Fatimah has never really fancied Nigerian men, and the last thing she needs is a Nigerian version of her ex. Yet the more she talks to him, the more she realizes they couldn't be more different. Where her ex brought chaos, this new stranger seems calm. Where her ex left wounds, this stranger slowly makes her question the walls she built around her heart.
Caught between healing from the past and stepping into the unknown, Fatimah must decide whether this unexpected connection is simply a distraction from her heartbreak-or the beginning of a story she never planned for.
A heartfelt coming-of-age story about faith, healing, self-discovery, and learning that not everyone who shares a name shares the same soul.
