You won't be sorry that you read this book! Funny in all the right places and vice versa with the more dramatic elements in the book. I finished it in a day; that's how great it is!! I have the paperback copy AND the ebook version! Hoping for a sequel.....?

I really enjoyed reading the novel. It was fast-paced and I loved how the twists in the plot made me eager to turn the pages. The Small Print shares the message of divine grace and redemption without being preachy. Through the very real characters of Sade, Wale and Jennifer, this novel highlights the limitations of human love in ways that many of us can relate to. This was a book that stayed with me long after the last page was turned. I will definitely buy another book by this author.

Loved it, Loved it Loved it. It was so engaging I started and finished it on a cross-atlantic flight. I could not have asked for a better travel companion. Definitely a page turner. It was so good I really hoped for a part 2, 3,....you get my point.
A story of hope and encouragement as well as a testament to the fact that allowing the healing process take its full course at a steady pace, unrushed, irrespective of the "what ifs" of life, the results can be priceless.

Very well done. Keep up the good work.

This is one of the best reads this year for me. It was intriguing and I loved the way it ended. From page 1 I was captivated by the characters and story line. I appreciate all of the thought this author put into this very enjoyable story. I love the way everyone's faith was tested and how each of them were drawn to God. Even in the worst situations He brings light and joy, if you simply believe. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I look forward to more from this author.

Love it!!!! Finished reading it in one day, was a fun book to read!!! Powerful story about redemption and forgiveness, reminds us about the faithfulness of a God.

I liked that the story touched on real issues that face marriage such as financial challenges, lust, insecurities, family interference, societal expectations, and infertility.
At some point, the story began to feel a bit cheesy and too long. I also think the book accepted the societal misconceptions that the success of any marriage depends solely on the woman

Good African Christian Romance

Well-written with a lot of lessons for both married and single Christians. Sometimes we think we understand all that is happening around us, that we know it all but we really don't. This book teaches about love, trust, forgiveness, restoration and reconciliation. Things we often think we understand but we don't fully grasp. Above all, it reiterates the limitless and judgement free Love of God.

I concentrated to keep track of key players in this story. Also, it looked like it was a book 3x longer than typical, so I poured through, wondering what I had gotten myself into. Then all of a sudden I got to the end. It turns out that it has two copies of the same book accidentally in this file. Whew!

An engaging read, but I came across this somehow by accident and totally didn't twig the heavy religious aspect to the book until I was enough through it to want to know what happened at the end! Not really my cup of tea with regards to the 'divine power' mentioned - and because of that, it was an unsatisfying ending.

Awesome read

Lovely book. God really did speak to me in the course of reading this. I totally recommend it. Every character was compelling, and I learnt a lot. As an aspiring Christian fiction writer, reading this book has increased my faith and taught me some things. Kudos Abimbola, you now have a new, loyal fan.

Didn't want to put it down.... loved it.

Abimbola tells a seemingly complex story with great ease - ordinary people with extraordinary lives - and how God uses our messes to tell His message of love and forgiveness. Excellently written, and wanted to read it all at once!
