Set across Lagos, Abuja, and Ghana, the book brings together three stories—Good Company, Almost Ordinary, and Something Like Peace. It is a sharp, intimate exploration of modern relationships in a world where meaningful connection has become complex. The narrative follows characters navigating the complicated boundaries between initial attraction, deep intimacy, loneliness, and love. In modern cities that teach people to guard their hearts, vulnerability becomes a risk, clarity is replaced by silence, and passion often shifts into something harder to define—neither complete love nor absence, but an uneasy space in between. The book blends humor with heartbreak, capturing the distinctly Nigerian experience of turning romantic disasters into "gist" to cope with the consequences of wanting someone badly.
