Araire Falade, a beautiful, wealthy, and single woman in her 40s, is trying to slow down her ticking biological clock, and her boyfriend, Bamidele, has said he will only propose if she gets pregnant.
Seeking help, she approaches the sexy, handsome but married fertility doctor, Chibuike Azuke, and they soon become great friends.
Glowing and pregnant, her happiness doubles or so it seems when Bamidele finally proposes.
All hell breaks loose when Araire discovers she has been duped, not only by the man she was engaged to, but also by the man she had come to trust and love with her whole heart.
Will love find her again or she is destined to remain single and alone forever?
In her mid-forties, Araire wishes for love, for marriage, and for her own happy ending. But the man she is dating is unwilling to commit unless she has a child for him.
At the fertility centre, she meets Chibuike, a doctor and family man. Their lives become intertwined and what follows is friendship, betrayal of trust, and the struggle to mend broken hearts.
Mobolaji did a great job with the story, Finding Solace.
I'll say this story for one touched me and it's a replica of how God himself uses mistakes and circumstances to guide us to our desired end. I particularly learnt lots of lessons from the marriage portrayed in this book.
Enjoyed the story would truly recommend it! Ezuinne was not remorseful at all of all that she did and ended up been cheated upon, you reap what you sow
Finding Solace tells the story of a slightly older, and successful woman seeking love. I enjoyed this book the first time I read it as an arc and even more the second time.
I loved that it tackled some serious issues of the sort of deceit that happens in our society both from Araire's and Chibuike's partners.
The plot is engaging and heartfelt, with a strong emotional core that draws the reader in. Araire, the protagonist, is beautifully written, with authentic struggles and growth. Chibuike, a complex and compelling figure, adds depth to her journey, while Ezinne, a striking antagonist, creates tension and complexity. The writing style is elegant, poetic, and immersive, with vivid descriptions and natural dialogue. The emotional depth of the story is striking, capturing emotions in a raw and real way. The relationships between characters are nuanced, particularly the bond between Araire and Chibuike. My favorite aspect of the book is its ability to balance tension, quiet reflection, and moments of joy, making the narrative engaging and unforgettable. Overall, Finding Solace is a deeply touching and beautifully written novel that leaves a lasting impact.
I personally enjoyed the book and the lessons it brought to me. I also liked that the book while romance tackled some issues concerning women whom society thinks are old for marriage.
