ties that tether by Jane Igharo

 At twelve years old, Azere promised her dying father she would marry a Nigerian man and preserve her culture, even after immigrating to Canada. Her mother has been vigilant about helping—well forcing—her to stay within the Nigerian dating pool ever since. But when another match-made-by-mom goes wrong, Azere ends up at a bar, enjoying the company and later sharing the bed of Rafael Castellano, a man who is tall, handsome, and…white. 


When their one-night stand unexpectedly evolves into something serious, Azere is caught between her feelings for Rafael and the compulsive need to please her mother. Soon, Azere can't help wondering if loving Rafael makes her any less of a Nigerian. Can she be with him without compromising her identity? The answer will either cause Azere to be audacious and fight for her happiness or continue as the compliant daughter.

What can I say about this book? Nothing but praise. I could not put it down. I love how it was written. I love how you got hooked into the story. What would happen? Where are these characters going to end up? If you want a book, a story that draws you in, makes you get all the feels, this is a book for you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 of these from me!!
