Sometimes, the hardest part of love isn’t finding it. It’s believing you’re allowed to keep it.
Bold, sharp-tongued, and fiercely independent, Chinonye has never believed in being chosen easily. Life has taught her to guard her heart, keep her expectations low, and walk away before she gets hurt.
Then she meets Olamide—steady, intentional, and dangerously sincere.
As guarded conversations turn into something deeper, Olamide sees a woman worth choosing every single day. Chinonye sees only the reasons he deserves better.
So she walks away.
Until five friends step in like fairy godmothers, only it may already be too late.
Set against cultural differences, quiet longing, and honest conversations, Not Quite Cindarella is a tender African romance about self-worth, vulnerability, and the risk of accepting love when it finally arrives.
From the oil city to the brown roofs, she found a love she never thought she deserved.
