📚 THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:
This book has been on my TBR 📖✨ for a long time now( P.S I put my self on restrictions shh 🤫I have to finish all the book on my TBR before this year runs out😂😩). Anyway back to the book.
THE SECRET LIVES OF BABA SEGI'S WIVES is a book about a polygamous family comprising of 4 wives namely IYA SEGI,IYA TOPE AND IYA FEMI and BOLANLE THE GRADUATE and 7 children( I found Akin the most interesting).
The book tackles sensitive themes like rape, abuse, cheating, hatred and others in such a way it didn't make me cringe.
3 things I loved about this book:
1. I loved that the author gave us a backstory of each character. It made each character come to life and very real and it is also told from different POVS so I was able to understand why each character acted the way they acted.
2. I loved the fact that the book focused on only baba segi's household
3. I loved the way that Bolanle didn't stoop to the other wives level. The fact remains EDUCATION WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD
BABA SEGI I FEEL SAD FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU TOOK CARE OF PEOPLE YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF 😪
📚RATINGS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐( 4 stars)
