THOUGHTS
uh, hmm... i dont remember much. i know it was way more action packed than the last one i just read. my memory is mush and all i remember thinking is "damn. kids are wild. having kids is wild. choosing who to have kids with is even wilder! like how do you know!"
i loved that the dad was like the "good guy" tho. like if people would have just said something, anything! maybe things could have been different between them two?
idk.
reading wise. ive tapped out and im done with it for the year so ima just leave it at this.
this one was good!
(see below for notes i took as i was reading this.....this is all i got)
NOTES
holy shit. how the fuck do i still have 2 hours to go on this damn audio!!!!!
anyway, im here because i want to take notes. jump on down if you wanna skip all this.
...so romance books are still safe with me i guess because i am loving this one even though i still have 2 hours left! ah!
- i still love books where couples are meant to be together but they're both too dumb* to be together (*dumb is the wrong word but ya know.....)
80%: diiiiiis bitch just blew my mind backtracking the way she did!!!! here i was defending here and todavia la misma mierda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ahhhh!!!!!! (ha! as of now, i have no idea what this means anymore)
i love Emeka! *crying face emoji* its always the ones you least expect that surprise you! (i forgot what this was also about)
88% BITCH WTF!!!!!!!!!!!! (i accidentally read further ahead when looking for a page and saw ahead of time but still) ...how the fuck did you hold onto that information for so long!? 38 fucking chapters bro!!!!!! (
...pertaining to the last note above: okay. she's right. she's 100 right as to why she didn't but damnnnnn, Gina. GO JANE IGHARO!!!!!
SPOILERS
they meet when they are kids. they fall in love but her mom threatens him and she embarrasses him at Dunni's graduation. icing on the cake seeing as how she's leaving to princeton. or yale. i dont remember.
the plan was that she was going to go first, go to school, save her allowance and then bring him on over once his visa was approved. she goes, he disappears, she tries reaching him but he never comes around.
he decides he wont come around until he makes something of himself.
it turns out she's pregnant.
she returns to her home for Tiwa's wedding, runs into him. they go thru all this shit, he sees her tattoo which says austen or jane... or jane austen. idk...and apparently that was supposed to be their child's name should they ever have one. i thought she had misscarried. turns out she had the baby and even though she spent like 45 months with him in Nigeria, she never tells him until he shows up at her door in seattle.
anyway, blah, blah, blah,.....they end up together.
the reason that the mom hated homie was because she was part of a relationship where she uplifted the man and he did her dirty and she was seeing her past "replay" in her present.
the dad (Dunni's) never knew that his granddaughters father was homeboy. when he finds out he reprimands Dunni for not having said something earlier. he stated that he would have helped them be together. (he finds out at the hospital after Jane Austen or whatever her name is is in an accident."
the reason that grama kept seeing Dunni in an accident or someshit was because she was engaged to Christopher. once she calls it off, grama stops dreaming the dreams.

SYNOPSIS
THOUGHTS
this one was okay.
i wasnt crazy over it
BUT LOL THE UNIVEEEEEEEEEEEERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
han's dad rip's and now shes off to go meet her family. and of course they are evil and in the end it all works out and thats it.
and it wasnt bad but it was missing an umph. i think the part that lost me was when Tiwa goes all crazy at the reading....if thats not how she truly felt why the bust? it makes sense but meh.
idk.
though i will say that i liked the reasoning behind homegirl automatically thinking homie was a bad dude. when all you've known is to expect the worst..., well why would that suddenly change? i do believe that part was beautifully executed.
sometimes its so obvious. but reading this - er - having this read to me shed a different type of light on it for me.
anyway. hmm....i wish it could have been spicier in the sense that i wanted more drama (lol les! really!?) yes! remember the mom from her first book! lol
onto her 3rd book! (i have heard it since posting this and !!!)
SPOILERS
shit.
i did not do them right away so let me seeeeeeee......
the night before anything happens, hannah goes out with her friend to an event, ends up alone and meets LOHL (love of her life bc i 4got his name). they both get important calls and they do not exchange any information.
hannah's dad uh passes away and in his will its his wish that H travel to his home to meet the rest of his children. she goes and meets them. theyre against it. it turns out that the love of her life is homies with Tiwa and um...so the family gets along with Hannah and at first its fake but they all grow on each other and then the will is read and it turns out that Hannah gets to keep the home in Nigeria causing Tiwa to be all wtf and then H learns that they were all getting along with her because if they didn't they would not inherit anything in the will.
of course she thinks that lohl is in on it also! (because he is a huge part of the family) but in the end it all works out and everyone is happy.
also, tiwa is with her dad's homie. who is several years older than her. its on the DL, of course Hannah catches them and never says anything and then yeah, that's it.
