Everything is Not Enough By Lola Akinmade Akerstrom

Everything is Not Enough By Lola Akinmade Akerstrom


Yasmiin cannot comprehend what the policeman is saying to her. Her friend in a coma? Attempted suicide? Discovering she’s listed as next of kin, Yasmiin looks to her friend’s past to try and understand her actions, uncovering fresh mysteries at every turn. All the while, her own life seems to be running off course.

Kemi seems to have it all: a high-powered job, a beautiful flat, a loving boyfriend. So why doesn’t she feel more settled? Unsure whether its homesickness, heartsickness or sick-and-tired-of-the-same-old-sickness, she embarks on a destructive path to try and change things up.

Brittany-Rae doesn’t remember the woman she was before she met her husband Jonny. She knows she was an ambitious, confident go-getter, but now she’s faded into Jonny’s domineering shadow. And as she unearths disturbing secrets about her husband, she’s focused on only one thing: her daughter, Maya, and ensuring she is as far away from Jonny as possible.

My Thoughts:

Yasmiin, Kemi and Brittany-Rae are three women who all have their own real life stories that unfold through out the pages. It is raw and emotional as the three women try to make their journey through life and what they have to deal with each and every day. Each has their own life and story and it was interesting to see how they weave together and made an connection. It was a good read and one that I will always remember.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
