The Journals Of He

by J.D Kizza

During a college tour in the city, a freak accident in a campus library leads to a chance encounter between Dilia and a handsome stranger. High on painkillers and with no way of reaching him, Dilia’s chances of reconnecting with the man are dashed… until two years later, when fate takes her back to the place where they first met. From a quiet little town in the Northwest Province, Dilia is thrust into the colour and noise of suburban Johannesburg, where she learns to cope with the demands of independent life. A self-professed introvert, she realizes that she must open herself up to the adventure of new people and experiences, in order to survive the challenges of nursing school. But then, inadvertently, Dilia finds her sheltered existence rocked by her own intense curiosity and twisted desires… Desires which lead her to the mysterious secrets of – Him...

Actual rating - 3.5 ⭐️

[Caylin Bezuidenhout · Rating 5 out of 5]

This South African version of 50 Shades of Grey was a breath of fresh air. I rarely read romancey type of books but this one I liked. I adored the poems between chapters and who can say no to dual POVs?!

Dilia finally met the stranger that came to her rescue after an insident that happened 2 years before. That's when the fun starts. In a almost whirlwind-like romance between them , life came with it's own problems in the form of exes 😕.

What's a great story without drama? This one covered many firsts and about exploration is a great story indeed.

I didn't connect that much with the book, but I want to read the next book to hopefully get the connection and get more of what i expected. It is well written, but there's something missing for me. I can't pinpoint it exactly.

This is not my usual genre but I found myself getting so invested that I read the entire book in a day. There is something about Dilia that pulls you in.

Reading a romance that featured African characters in Johannesburg was a plus. Highly recommend.

Well written. I especially enjoyed the poetry at the end of many chapters.
