Little moments 

In a sea of heads, she stood out, quite astonishingly. On her was probably every colour of the rainbow, but that wasn’t what made her stand out. She just seemed … warm. Like a person you looked at and saw comfort, and perhaps, trust.

Her hair was curly. Silky. Full. Very nice. I walked briskly past her and noticed it. The bump! I couldn’t resist the urge to say what instantly played out in my head, me being the impulsive person that I am. I blurted out how beautiful her baby would be.

She smiled. Genuinely. So did her boyfriend. Well, the person I assumed was her boyfriend. Fiancé ? Well, I didn’t notice a ring. 

I hope she delivers a baby as beautiful as they both look. Healthy, too. And that the world they, the baby, come to inhabit will be a safe and happy one. 

I doubt the last one, though, not with everything else going on in our world today.

1332, Baker Street, London.

Secrets, lies and a deeply satisfying dose of playback. 👌

It’s always immensely gratifying to watch a player get played, especially when the consequences are as dire as they were in Wendy’s case. I had very different hopes for Douglas, but hey! Collateral damage, eh? I loved that he KNEW how to play: hardly your typical nerd.

Millie? What can I say? Phew!”

Awfully heartbreaking 💔 

Shipped off to Lahore under the guise of a holiday, only to be married off to a total stranger.

Her offence? She dared to walk the streets of London with a young boy ; someone closer to her own age than her family would rather she be with , this is all in the name of preserving their, quite frankly, nonexistent honour.

I’ll never understand the attraction some utterly disgusting men have to underage girls, nor the willingness of some parents to hand their daughters over in marriage.

It will surprise you what happens behind people’s closed doors.

But how does she escape the nightmare she finds herself trapped in?

Disgraced by Saira Ahmed is an eye-opener.

My Reflection : THE THINGS WE NEVER SAY

Reading this book once again reminded me that things are rarely as they seem. Hidden beneath the surface are the silent , yet deafening greys of life; truths that linger in the background, waiting to be acknowledged.

Artie and Evie’s marriage is a perfect example. The signs of Evie’s disloyalty were always there: her dismissiveness towards Artie, the growing distance between them, and Rob, their son, who bore little resemblance to him. Yet what stayed with me most was Artie’s quiet awareness. Knowing that Rob was not biologically his, he chose not to confront Evie with the truth. Even now, I remain unsure how I feel about that decision. Was it an act of love, resignation, forgiveness, or simply a desire to preserve what remained of his family?

What makes the novel so compelling is its refusal to offer easy answers. Instead, it invites readers to sit with the complexities of human relationships and the things left unsaid. It captures  the messiness of love, betrayal, loyalty, and family with remarkable sensitivity.

Most moving of all is the relationship between Artie and Rob. In the end, biology becomes secondary to the bond they shared. Artie may not have been Rob’s father by blood, but he was undoubtedly his true father in every way that mattered. That relationship gives the story its emotional heart and makes the journey worthwhile.

And as I closed the book, I was left with one final thought: I hope Artie’s unending sleep is always peaceful.

W.I.L.D 

So I just read The Housemaid… and this story is WILD.”
A woman named Millie is desperate. She’s just gotten out of prison, she has nowhere to go, and no one will hire her… UNTIL ( a guy I follow on TikTok says this a lot. Haha )  a rich couple offers her a job as a live-in housemaid.
At first, it seemed like a miracle. I mean, the house is beautiful. The husband, Andrew, is calm and kind. But the wife, Nina? Hmmm something off about her .. 
Nina is unpredictable. One minute she’s sweet, the next she’s cruel—messy, manipulative, and constantly setting Millie up to fail. It starts to feel like a nightmarish  job, but Millie stays, because either that or she goes back to sleeping in her car. 

Then , things get darker…..

Nina starts lying about Millie. Twisting stories. Making her look unstable. And slowly, Millie realizes she’s being trapped in the house—physically and psychologically.

But here’s the twist…

A child called it. 

A severely disturbed mother. A timid father. A child starved and singled out. Authorities looked away.

Get your tissues out for this one. It’s incredibly sad.
What’s even more, it’s no fiction. It’s a real person’s true account of his childhood. As human , never mind a parent, myself , words truly fail me.

What if your child wasn’t just troubled… but dangerous?
Erika Cass has always known there was something different about her son. By the age of five, Liam had already done the unthinkable: duct-taping a

When sixteen-year-old Liam develops an obsession with a girl named Olivia and she suddenly vanishes, suspicion falls squarely on him. The police start asking questions. The town begins to whisper. g
DED HA
And even Erika finds herself wondering:
What if her worst nightmare is true?
But as the investigation unfolds, shocking secrets come to light: secrets that will test a mother’s loyalty, a family’s trust, and the terrifying possibility that nothing is as it seems.#BookTok #fiction #read #book #thriller by @onsamepage

Deception After Deception ; You’ll Be Hooked Till the Last Page

If you must lie, make sure it’s not to the police’ feels like the book’s quiet warning , because when the truth surfaces (and it always does), the damage multiplies. 

Affairs, fractured marriages, children labelled ‘difficult,’ innocent ones absorbing the fallout, and partners who did nothing wrong paying the price.

Friendship. Powerful. Love. Friendship. 

The book explores friendship, love, pain, and how much people can endure, and forgive. 

Even though Jude becomes a successful lawyer and is surrounded by people who care deeply for him, he battles self-harm, constant pain, and a deep sense of unworthiness. His bond with Willem gives him rare moments of comfort and hope, but sadness and loss continue to follow him throughout his life.

A truly sad , emotional but enjoyable read, nonetheless. #read #book #alittlelife #hanyayanagıhara #friendship #emotionalread by @onsamepage

THIS MOTHERLESS LAND 

This Motherless Land is filled with interesting and diverse characters, brought to life through Nikki May’s brilliant writing.

Take Margot, for example — a true “Margot” in every sense of the word. I suspect most of us have met someone like her. I certainly work with one: vindictive, bitter, insecure, dripping with bile and, quite frankly, just an unhappy person. Why? Who knows. Some people are simply wired that way.

Then there’s Lizzie — or Lissie, as a Yoruba speaker might say 😆. Warm, personable, and impossibly beautiful, she radiates kindness and carries the sort of heart you rarely encounter. Hard to believe she and Margot are sisters, right? I thought so too!

Margot embodies the worst of human nature: greedy, resentful of sharing, and determinedly unpleasant. Lizzie, on the other hand, shines as her complete opposite — light where Margot is shadow.

Of course, that’s just a slice of what this novel is about, but it shows how richly May captures human flaws and virtues. I’ll leave you to discover the rest yourself 😆.

POLITICS. Events and people that drove Britain  into its current  economic topsy turvy. 
 2016 saw the strangest thing happen in Britain , to Britons , by Britons : impose economic sanctions on itself. Arguably the strangest thing to ever happen to mankind. 
This however, against the warnings of every voice of common sense, was at large, driven by a handful of privileged men . Men with premium education from the most prestigious schools in Britain. These individuals told you you’d be better off out of Europe. Only as it turned out, even they didn’t believe a word of it. So what was it for them ? Power play ? Another avenue to shore up their immense wealth? Cue Nigel Farage. 

Not just that , but it turns out they had zero plans in the event Britain actually did exit the union , as it did ! 
Did someone say screwed? Yep.  Too right ! 
But no, let’s blame David Cameron and not the actual architects of Brexit, namely  Farage, BoJo, Jacob RM, and of course, Michael Gove. 🙄

How far will a person go to save their marriage? 

This book highlights the crushing weigh of expectations on women .. 

The story is about  Yejide and Akin, a married couple deeply in love but struggling with infertility. Under pressure from Akin’s family, as I imagine is familiar to most of us from Africa , “they” take extreme measures to conceive: (actually, Akin took an unusually extreme measure )including him, Akin ,  secretly taking a second wife—though he claims it’s only for appearances. Yejide, desperate to have a child, endures painful and risky fertility treatments, leading to multiple heartbreaking pregnancies. 

As secrets unravel, the couple’s relationship is tested by betrayal, grief, and cultural expectations. The novel shifts between past and present, revealing hidden truths that force the couple  to confront their choices and the sacrifices they’ve made for their marriage.
