I really liked the characters and the plot, and the message behind the whole book.” The ups and downs of her life, the challenges she faces, make for an easy read that you won’t want to put down. The impact made to her life, whilst enjoyed, doesn’t last long and Theana ends up back at the being trying to create a life she loves. I loved the modern social media elements of the story and how fragile the industry is. “The Place That Gave is the second book I’ve read by Emem Uko and once again I really liked it. One sight of Theana looking like a chocolate beauty that walked out of an Afremov painting was all it took to get him interested in what life had to offer after all. Despite his success and fame, his bad reputation kept catching up with him. Heartthrob and talented musician, Ramsey Edet makes women lose their cool. Her plan to reinvent herself wasn’t working…and a sexy crooner with a face that could melt even the strongest of icebergs refuses to leave her alone! Even an escape to a distant village in Nigeria couldn’t hide her from mistrust and scheming of the villagers. The once-beloved doll was now a disliked troll. But the discovery of illegal additives in the snacks she promoted kicked her back to the bottom of the pit. She thought her ‘rags to riches’ story would stay on “riches” for a long time. Buzzcut, doll face, secret prude and healthy snacks brand ambassador, Theana Green, loses her money, boyfriend, and reputation in a matter of days.
