How does a daddy's girl from Nigeria, who's never been in a toxic relationship in her life, end up with an abusive husband in the UK?

The only child of a wealthy entrepreneur and a celebrity event planner, Nadine knows what it is to be ride or die.

But she's also a Type A personality who's been homesick, survived sleep deprivation, learned to tolerate English weather and British food, battled loneliness despite close friends, noticed her shedding hair, and managed to dip her toe in student life - ever since she started studying Law in the UK as an international student.

Convinced she's found her soulmate when she starts dating, Nadine hopes for a love marriage and a happy ending.

But Nadine's dad isn't particularly looking forward to a father-and-daughter dance at what he's afraid might be an interracial marriage ceremony for her.

When unexpected events trigger a life change for Nadine, she feels her best bet is to reconsider her options without rose-coloured glasses. Meanwhile, her closest friend, Stella believes Nadine is having a quarter life crisis.

Will the loyalty of a perfectionist to those who aren't there when she needs them the most, turn Nadine into a domestic violence statistic?

Or will Battered Woman Syndrome cause her to self-destruct in a foreign land, where the weight of generational differences she has carried with her, makes her feel alone?

Read it, loved it, smiled, cried etc it's a really nice piece. I am still reeling from the after effect of this book. once i started reading,I couldn't put the book down.I have a full time job, 3 kids under the age of five and was still able to find time to finish the book in less than 2 days. I'd say the book speaks for its self

Forever There For You by Chioma Nnani

Forever There For You tells the story of Nadine, an only child of successful Nigerian parents and well-loved by her parents, friends and colleagues. She leaves the shores of Nigeria to study abroad, yet excelled despite the challenges. Her life seemed perfect till she made the mistake of entering into a toxic marriage, with devastating consequences. Unfortunately, her family and friends were not there when she need them.
_________

What I liked -

Simple writing

Easy to read

Relatable characters and events

A lot of information about life in the UK and as a foreign student (some people may not like the constant commentary in the book though
___________

What I didn’t like -

The ending. I like happy endings, but I know that they may not always be realistic. However, even with books that have sad endings, there should be an element of hope, justice, freedom or something else.

The Christian is me doesn’t like how it seemed like things went bad for Nadine when she became a born again Christian. Again, bad things happen to good people, but there was barely any good thing attributed to her being a Christian in the book.

My rating: 7/10

Haunting Food for Thought

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2017

Forever There for You by Chiama Nnani is both enlightening and troubling. The first ominous chapter gives way to a lighter narrative in the early chapters about a young, privileged Nigerian teen who becomes an international student in the UK. Threads of humor run through her experiences with some of the typical cultural shocks that come with climate, language, and food. The author’s apt descriptions and dialog add realism to the story lines and her characters are credible and multidimensional, which adds to the themes as the plot line becomes more serious and darker. The issues of culture, race, gender, religion, and family all come into play as we follow the main character through several formative years of her young adult life. The subtitle of the book is “when everyone in her life let her down.” The story of how that happens becomes very complex, providing the reader with haunting food for thought. This book is a good read for individuals but would also have value for book groups or classes. There is a great deal in the book worthy of discussion.

I did receive this book for free in return for a honest review.

This book is a page turner. I could not keep it down from the moment I started reading it. This book should be at seminars organised for women. It is mind blowing and resonates with what some women are going through in Life. You need a good book that is funny, inspiring and informative?? Forever there for you is the book. Welldone Chioma Nnani. Looking forward to your next book.

This novel is an embodiment of the writer's skill and passion! It makes a captivating read! Among other things, the story exposes the ills of domestic violence. I like the way the author skillfully captures and marries different cultures to create an interesting storyline. Great work! Can't wait for her next release...or maybe a sequel!
