Patience Is a Subtle Thief by Abi Ishola-Ayodeji

medium-paced

2.0

 Underwhelming, unrealistic, repetitive and culminates in a disappointing ending.

In Patience Is Subtle Thief we meet Patience who lives with her father, stepmom and half sister. She was told her mother went away to America because she could not take care of her. Patience was born in America and her plan is to get her passport and track down her mother in America to find out why she left her. The only problem with this plan is, she does not have access to her passport, birth certificate or money. Patience becomes fixated on this plan and will stop at nothing to make it happen.

Honestly, this book was so underwhelming and unrealistic. The whole time I am reading this book I kept thinking, “dis cyan real!” After a while I actually stopped caring because Patience became such an unlikeable character and I wasn’t invested in whether she won or not.
I did not enjoy this book at all.
