The Girl from Home
KELECHI, a naive young woman, travels to England to surprise her husband, Johnson, and to keep a promise she'd made to him. There, she meets a feisty red-haired woman, Stella and is left stranded. STELLA becomes of Kelechi because Johnson has refused to explain his relationship with her, even after she discovers that Kelechi has taken over the bedroom of their one-bedroom flat. MAURICE Johnson’s best friend had always had an eye for Kelechi, and he was a man who knew no boundaries and believed he could get anything he wants even the stubborn Kelechi. JOHNSON is in a dilemma, as his secrets are about to unfold. A bigamy charge, a love interest, and an attempted rape rattle her guileless life.
Now at the verge of a nervous breakdown, Kelechi must stand up for something, but what?

Absolutely gripping, a perfect summer read
I was drawn to this book after I saw the word bigamy. I didn’t know what to expect, especially the steamy scenes, which seemed to have been made to my specifications, not over the top.
I was blown away by the author’s ability to make me root for and against some of the characters, especially Johnson, whom I absolutely hate and still root for. He can’t seem to make up his mind, and that’s what I find most adorable about him because I was like that for almost forty years.
Thanks Agnes for making my day.

When unsuspecting Kelechi travels to England to surprise her husband, she is left shattered to find him cheating on her. The Girl From Home begins from here. Begins with Kelechi trying to navigate her path in an unknown country. Around a few known faces. But really alone.
Kelechi's character develops beautifully throughout the novel. The once naive and innocent girl evolves and comes out to be brave and strong. Johnson seemed a douche from the very first page but the author keeps you invested and guessing. Packed with drama and emotion, The Girl From Home by Agnes Kay-E is equally plot and character driven.
The only thing I felt is that the book would have been better if told in a single pov rather than alternating. I'll give The Girl From Home a 4 stars out of 5.
