By Onyi Nwabineli

A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK - A BOOK OF THE MONTH CLUB PICK - A LIBRARYREADS PICK

"If you are someone who gravitates toward emotional gut punch reads, allow me to introduce you to this spectacular debut..."--BuzzFeed


Here are three things you should know about my husband:
  1. He was the great love of my life despite his penchant for going incommunicado.
  2. He was, as far as I and everyone else could tell, perfectly happy. Which is significant because...
  3. On New Year's Eve, he died.

And here is one thing you should know about me:
  1. I found him.

Bonus fact: No. I am not okay.

Someday, Maybe is a stunning, witty debut novel about a young woman's emotional journey through unimaginable loss, pulled along by her tight-knit Nigerian family, a posse of friends, and the love and laughter she shared with her husband.

"Incisive and witty. I couldn't put it down."--Lolá Ákínmádé Åkerström, internationally bestselling author of In Every Mirror She's Black

"A masterfully woven exposition on love and loss. Nwabineli is magic with words."--Bolu Babalola, internationally bestselling author of Honey and Spice

Don't miss Onyi Nwabineli's next stunning page-turner, ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF, where a former kidfluencer must overcome her toxic family, reclaim her identity and, ultimately, find the freedom to be herself...

Gut wrenching novel about the after effects of a completed suicide. A widow documents her pain and sorrow over the course of time after her loss.

OK... perhaps reading this book, 2nd book of 2024, after "the Collected regrets of clover", was not a wise move. Death, depression, family, and despair played major roles in this book. There was little to no humor throughout this book, not really any dark humor. What did I like about this book? Love Eve's family- wow, how Eve suffered the soft love her brother provides, the fierce love of her sister, the chaotic love of her husbands friend, the tender love of her new art friend, and the un-love of her mother in law. The book was hard to move through like swimming in dark molasses...

I did the audiobook version. I love the way the author writes and I also love the way the narrator (Adjoa Andoh) reads! The combination of the two is such a great duo. Also, I've never been so frustrated with a character, but also so understanding. Such a great read!!!

The emotion that you gain from this book is raw and powerful. It really makes you see the inside of what someone feels when their loved one commits suicide.
