Summary: Not only did Afi get pushed into an arranged marriage, it was with Eli, one of the most accomplished men in Ghana. Afi was concerned to learn his family was outwardly using her to replace his current girlfriend, but she truly believed everything would work out.
Takeaways: A tale of sexist double-standards and harmful family expectations, Afi must advocate for herself when no one else will (including her own mother). The book drags on at times, but it compliments the cyclical nature of an unfaithful relationship that is slowly deteriorating.
