They are each other’s safety net, and as they head for their 20-Year High School Reunion, they are banking on each other for the support they both know they’ll need. They are inseparable the whole weekend...until a slip reveals things weren’t always only platonic for one of them, disrupting their dynamic of over two decades. Can their friendship survive it?

I thought this was gay?? You're telling me Ikenna isn't another man?

I loved the high school reunion and how much description was put into the characters with a little backstory. This is a short Nigerian romance book featuring Tomi and Ikenna.
I enjoyed the bickering between them but could not fathom why everything happened towards the end of the book.

I’m not sure how I feel about this book. Honestly, I didn’t enjoy it, which is surprising since I usually love romance-themed stories. The way their relationship started just didn’t sit right with me. To make matters worse, the female lead was in a relationship when all this started. That really put me off.

On the positive side, I enjoyed parts of the plot, especially the reunion and the focus on their friends’ stories. I also appreciated the career elements—starting and building a company was an interesting subplot. But when it came to the romance, I couldn’t get into it. The trope just didn’t work for me.

Overall, this book wasn’t for me. I didn’t enjoy it as much as I would have liked.

I started this book yesterday evening and ate up the remaining chapters this morning. I enjoyed the dynamic between Tomi and Ikenna's character, as well as that of Tomi with the other side characters - especially Zinna. S
Zinna made every page she was in so interesting and fun that I consider a personal favorite.

Men are so dense, lol

This was an a amazing read, I love the scenery and that everybody rekindle and other got memories. I like how he had to go to his ex wife for him to see what everyone else been seeing, But M and M, she better than me cuz ain’t no way K would have been at my wedding anniversary. That’s crazy.
