‘Layers’ by Aduke Adeyeye
Book review:
This novel took me on a rollercoaster I wasn’t ready for.
Firstly I want to say thank you to Aduke Adeyeye for this novel.
‘Layers’ is a novel which centres around Femi, a young, black Nigerian male who studies Law at university.
During a group holiday, Femi meets a woman called Megan, who introduces him to the world of sugar mummies. Having experienced financial difficulties whilst at uni, the lucrative nature of dates with sugar mummies lures Femi into the potential money he could be making.
That being said, this
My early thoughts as I read this were that it’s very easy to read, with the tone making things vivid and easy to visualise the plot.
I did feel at times conversations between characters felt quite lengthy, but they helped me understand the different dynamics between each character.
I really liked how Aduke Adeyeye explores the various layers of Femi’s life (ie - His relationship with women, the dynamics with his best friend Ricky, even his relationship with his parents).
Although I did want certain moments to be coloured in more depth, I wasn’t prepared for the plot twists.
(The plot twists were very much plotting and twisting).
I really enjoyed this novel and how it explores male fragility in particular.
Thank you Aduke Adeyeye 🙏🏾
