<\/a>My Sugar in Sugar Land<\/a> by Dee Osah<\/a>\nMy rating: 3 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n
This book was full of twists and turns and I found it quite difficult at times to follow who was speaking, and what was happening. This confusing narrative continued for many of the earlier pages. Although I usually avoid the genre of RomCom, I carried on reading to see who would fall in love. It was well written throughout and most of the characters had a distinct identity but I found Silas, Kay and Tonye were often mixed up in my mind. For me many of the frequent romantic conversations were a little too sickly but I suppose that could be a reflection of my older mind.<\/p>\n
The general plotline about Ibelema struggling to become a film maker who is looking for the right man to play the lead in her new movie was quite interesting. And the references to Nigeria and the trouble there that leads to Silas running away to the USA seemed so recently topical and I wanted to know more. I\u2019m unsure about the religious aspects as someone who is a non-believer. The inner conflict between the younger characters faith and the more traditional viewpoint of their parents\u2019 generation was intriguing and quite understandable I suppose. But because I am quite unaware of the Christian theology referred to then, unfortunately, those sections were less interesting to me.<\/p>\n
Another problem I had initially was assuming that \u2018Sugar Land\u2019 was a fictional place made up by the author. But later I discovered it really is a place in Houston, Texas, USA! So, of course then the movie connections began to make more sense and became very relevant to the story.<\/p>\n
