I love when the titles of the book make their grand appearance in the book and connects the entire book/theme together. This tale of a young Nigerian girl growing up in a typical African household was really captivating and intriguing. Patience, the young girl, just wanted love. But she wanted it in right places. Throughout Patience's life, she made silly choices which then led to her demise but I enjoyed the journey of how Patience had to lose herself to then be able to find herself again.

Beautifully written!
