Nigerian singer Bolarinwa "Blaze" Johnson has released a new song entitled "Otaare." However, Nigerian writer Ukeme Collins accuses the singer of ripping off his work; igniting a Twitter war. In order to calm things down, Blaze offered Ukeme a chance to clear the air by appearing in public as friends. But the more often they spend time together in public for the press, the more they find themselves wanting something deeper.

Our main characters are interesting and the social media aspect of this could easily end up overused and cringy but this book manages to avoid that. It is also awesome to see a romance set in Nigeria and despite the story meeting every beat you would expect, I did enjoy a story with more diversity and some level-headed main leads. 3.7 out of 5.

Bola and Ukeme Enemies along T w i t t e r. Ukeme a writer accuses Bola of using his words in his last song Otaara.

Bola from a wealthy family and just that fact is an evil in Ukeme's eyes. They hate each other. Bola even tried to connect but all words stuck when accusations were all over the floor. Their tribes on T w i t t e r love their war.
Only the attraction is sizzling and just for the outside world they act as friends. They get along just great. For both it's getting difficult with real feelings...not spoken
When Bola invites Ukeme to come over to a special place, they are finally on the same page.

We get a look into their lifes and livings, families, background and Nigeria.

I looked at the places and words over at G o o g l e maps and G o o g l e and I came out in Nigeria and Nigeria's culture, history and living and food...
*Chuckling* because when I'd finished the book an appendix told me everything I wanted to know while reading.

Good written, original and lovely story, more easygoing than I expected, sometimes a bit confusing of things i didn't know anything about.

With believable characters, challenging family dynamics, and social media communication that has the propensity to threaten both, this suspenseful story provided entertainment galore!
