I listened to this audiobook because I really like one of the narrators (she did Honey & Spice and Sweet Heat). I like the premise of this book: a curse that affects the subsequent generations of women in the Falodun family - allowing no men to truly love them and stay with them. Initially, this was a bit tough to get into because of all the names and everything going on, but once it settled into the two main POVs and timelines, it was easier to keep track of the characters and storylines. This was such an interesting listen (with excellent narration) and I could relate to the relationships the women had with each other, especially the mother-daughter dynamic. I liked seeing the parallels between Monife and Eniiyi and how similar yet different they were. Overall a wonderful intergenerational story of women, love, sisterhood, and finding oneself.
