How can I give this book an additional star to make it 6/5 stars?? Adesuwa O’man Nwokedi!!! The writer that you are!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I’ll admit, I’m one of those people who judge a book by its cover, and "No Perfect Love" definitely didn’t escape that fate. The cover is absolutely stunning, and the moment I saw it, I knew I had to get my hands on it. Just as I was about to buy it, though, the author one-upped me by sending me a PR box. Woohoo!! But back to the cover—when a book looks this beautiful on the outside, and the story inside is even more captivating, that’s when you fall in love. The title may say "No Perfect Love," but when a book like this comes along, it feels like perfect love.
The story follows Gina, a successful woman in her forties, living what appears to be the perfect life with a happy home and beautiful children. But through flashbacks, we see how she arrived at this point. We’re introduced to her past love with Mudiaga, her fiancé for years, before he broke her heart because of his father’s tribal prejudice. Gina picks up the pieces of her life and moves on with Tobenna, whose love becomes a balm for her broken heart. But then, twenty years later, Mudiaga returns, and Gina finds herself facing the painful choice between rekindling her old love or trying to make things work with her husband.
This story resonates with me in a way that’s hard to put into words, but I’ll try. I really connected with the fact that the main characters work in the corporate financial industry. This book has all the right tropes to keep you hooked—second chance romance, love triangles—and the author’s writing is nothing short of brilliant. The way she portrays Gina’s heartbreak is gut-wrenching; it moved me to tears.
It’s easy to judge Gina for entertaining her ex’s advances, especially since he couldn’t fight for their love when it truly mattered. But we can’t forget Tobenna’s role in all of this. He’s a wonderful man, but in his efforts to provide a better life for his family, he neglected his wife. That doesn’t excuse Gina’s actions—reconnecting with her ex was pretty cringy—but there’s more to this than just blame.
This isn’t your typical romance novel. It’s much deeper, and I promise you’ll walk away with some real-life lessons. Marriage isn’t easy, but it only works when both people are committed to making it work. The book also shows the importance of not chasing after something that isn’t as valuable as what you already have. I’m so passionate about this book that I know I’ll keep recommending it. Get it, read it, and enjoy! I’ll be over here gushing about it on my socials. 😉

There’s something about waking up at 4 a.m. and escaping into a story that feels real, flawed, and full of heart. No Perfect Love was that kind of read.
I went into it thinking I’d be team Tobenna, but the moment he forgot Gina’s birthday? Yeah, no. And when he said, “Gina, I buy gifts and give you everything you want. Isn’t that enough?” my heart broke a little. Love is more than stuff.
I’m usually not into second-chance romances, but this one held me. Quietly intense and unexpectedly tender. Definitely recommending this one.

No Perfect Love
Adesuwa O'Man Nwokedi
No Perfect Love is a second chance romance with a love triangle. I never thought I’d read about a love triangle among characters in their mid forties and married for two decades 👀
Adesuwa’s beautiful writing will keep you engrossed, have you shouting in anger and smiling all in one day.
Romance or true love, which one will win? Can’t a girl have both?
My summary of this book - nothing works if you don’t work at it.

This book was a timely reminder of the power of love languages—how important it is to love your partner in their language, not just your own. It’s easy to default to what feels natural, but real love requires intention and attentiveness.
It also highlighted the need to be deliberate about spending time together. Life gets busy—kids, work, businesses —and without that conscious effort, it’s easy for your person to feel sidelined, even when the love hasn’t faded.

So, I realised that I’ve read and loved Adesewa Oman Nwokedi’s books since the Ginika’s Bridesmaids series, but I’ve never actually given a proper review of any of them. Let’s remedy that now.
I was in a reading slump when I read No Perfect Love, and I just have to say it’s the perfect book to get out of one. The first thing that drew me in (and always has) is the relatability of the characters and the writing. Her stories have a way of pulling you in from start to finish.
No Perfect Love is set between 1993 and 2016 and follows the life of Georgina “Gina,” who is married to Tobenna and has three sons. She reconnects with her first love, Mudiaga “Mudi,” who is also married with children. Their young love is the stuff of dreams, and we see how shattered Gina is when Mudi’s father disapproves of their relationship. They go their separate ways and end up marrying other people.
Ten or so years later, Gina is somewhat resigned and dissatisfied in her marriage. Then comes Mudi, rekindling the flames of the past and loving Gina exactly the way she wants to be loved. We go through the whirlwind romance and watch as they both risk everything they’ve built over the years to find each other again.
What did I think? Oh, I thought many things:
Mudi — Proper lover man, but very flighty. At the first sign of trouble, you ditch the woman you love, don’t bother fighting for your relationship, and marry someone else? Then you return years later to sweep her off her feet and proceed to betray your wife and children? One set of people I can’t stand are cheaters and disloyal people. Nothing—absolutely nothing—justifies breaking your promise, in my opinion. Mudi might be sweet, romantic, and the textbook lover boy, but I disliked him immensely.
Tobenna — I think Tobenna took Gina for granted. I don’t believe you can claim to love someone yet find it difficult to love them in their own love language; it just screams laziness and nonchalance. The excuse of not knowing how to write letters or give thoughtful gifts irked my spirit in no small measure. Not to blame the “victim,” but I honestly think Tobenna played a huge role in the collapse of his marriage. Also, what do you mean you’re not in the mood for sex for almost two years? Bro, please.
Gina — Do I hate what she did? Absolutely. But do I understand her? Yes, please. Two truths can co-exist. What I learnt from her story is that the lack of proper communication can build resentment, which eventually festers into something ugly. At a point she was the only active participant in her marriage, and later she became resigned. I wish she had done things differently, talked to people, sought therapy, and so on.
My key takeaway from this book is that no matter how in love you are with your partner, you have to decide each day to choose them—especially if your plan is long term. You choose them not because there isn’t “better” out there, but because you made a commitment to stay through the good and the bad (and bad here does not include domestic violence or infidelity).
I really loved this book, and it’s a 4.75-star read for me, and only because I’m not a fan of marriage-in-distress or cheating tropes.

No Perfect Love by Adesuwa Nwokedi is exactly the kind of story that reminds me why I keep coming back to Nigerian fiction. It’s full of heart, full of truth, and full of that bittersweet chaos that love brings when it’s not wrapped in perfection. The story follows Gina, who starts off with a love so intense, so romantic, so storybook in her youth; Mudi, the first love who promised her everything and then walked away because his father disapproved. That betrayal set the tone. Years later, she marries Tobenna, who isn’t poetic or grand in his affection, but shows his love in quieter ways: honesty, consistency, sacrifice.
The story pulls us between the past and the present, and it’s hard not to feel Gina’s ache when the love she gets isn’t the love she craves. It’s even harder when Mudi returns, tempting her with the kind of affection she’s been missing. I honestly found myself sympathizing with her at first. Who doesn’t want to feel seen, adored, wanted? But the more I read, the more I realized how deeply Tobenna loved her, in his own way—and how painful it was that they couldn’t meet each other in the middle until things nearly fell apart.
I won’t lie, I started off liking Mudi. I loved his love letters, his charm, his devotion. But by the end, I wanted him to suffer. He was selfish, manipulative, and disturbingly okay with disrupting people’s lives just to get what he wanted. And the fact that he still got a happy ending? Yeah… I’m still mad about that. Still, the story felt grounded and real. I don’t read many Nigerian romance books about couples in their forties, and it was refreshing to see love told from that angle, with all its exhaustion, miscommunication, and depth. The inclusion of couples counseling? I genuinely appreciated it. I love when authors show that healing is possible, even when things look broken beyond repair.
When I first finished the book, I gave it a 5-star rating on my story because I was riding a serious emotional high. But after sleeping on it and letting the story really settle, I’ve decided it’s a 4.5-star read for me. It’s a beautiful, emotional, and deeply moving story, and one I’ll definitely be recommending to anyone who loves second-chance romance that feels earned.

This is my introduction to Adesuwa’s work—and trust me—I wasn’t disappointed. Let’s get into it.
This book begins with Gina, who fell in love with Mudiaga while working together in an investment bank. Together, they decide they are going to get married, but it is met with disapproval from Mudi’s father, who never wanted him to marry an Igbo woman. To please his father, Mudi left Gina and married another woman.
The whole situation left Gina devastated, but Tobenna comes into Gina’s life and tries to win her love. Decades later, married to Tobenna and with three sons, gaps start to show between Gina’s expectations and reality.
She battles with loneliness, with her husband’s attention slowly moving from her to his business. Then out of the blues, Mudiaga texts her and begins telling her that he’s still in love with her. This plunges us into a web of secret affairs, and the possibility of whether finding love again is worth it.
I appreciate the author’s portrayal of older women in Nigerian fiction, and her willingness to portray the reality of women in lonely marriages. The story is deeply moving, and I nearly cried at some point, because I felt a wave of various emotions for each character: Gina, Tobenna, and Mudi.
Exploring the issues of second chances, infidelity, restoration, amongst others, this makes one of my best reads of the year. I don’t rate books by stars, but this one deserves a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
This quote from the book stayed in my mind: “And in those quiet moments, I was finally able to forgive myself. I forgave the little girl who just craved to be loved. I forgave the women who longed simply to feel special. I forgave the wife who sought the affection she no longer got from her husband in the arms of another man. I forgave myself.”
If you want relatable Nigerian characters with a sprinkle of drama, then this book is for you.

✨ Infinity Stars ✨ for No Perfect Love by Adesuwa O’man Nwokedi
This book? I couldn’t put it down from the moment I started. I literally had to force myself to stop reading because I didn’t want it to end. And when I tell you this is one of my top reads of the year? I mean it. Adesuwa has always been an auto-buy, auto-read author for me.
With No Perfect Love, she took bold, unspoken topics in marriage things people often shy away from and handled them with such intentionality, grace, and honesty. And not in the early years of marriage, but through the lens of people in their 40s and 50s. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s messy. It’s human.
I’ve scribbled all over my copy like it’s my personal diary because this book demanded reflection. You need to see my notes!
I need to buy a clean copy just to have that. This one feels like my privacy will be invaded if you pick it up. It challenged my moral compass, made me gasp, made me think. It reminded me that life isn’t always black and white, and that some loves if they’re worth it, are worth fighting for.
Honestly? This book deserves to be part of every couple’s pre-marital counseling guide or therapy toolkit. It’s that powerful.
This is a story I’ll keep returning to both for the lessons and the hope.

One of the best things that can happen to you as a human is learning to tell the difference between your needs and your wants.
Now, oftentimes as humans, we tend to mistake these two concepts. This leads me to this book. While Mudi was what Gina's heart thought she wanted, Tobenna was who she needed in life.
A quick synopsis: this book is a second-chance romance/ex-trope that follows a woman, Gina, who, after twenty years, gets entangled with her ex, Mudi, while dealing with an emotionally absent husband, Tobenna.
I love love this book, even while it frustrated me so much.
On a personal level, I resonated with this book deeply that it made me think. For me, reading has never been about flipping through the pages of a book. Rather, it's more about connecting with and immersing myself in the characters' lives.
I loved how flawed the characters were. It made them feel like normal people I'm likely to come in contact with. Mudi was a crazy character that needs his brain checked. I really wish I had seen his POV. I desperately wanted to know what was going on in his mind without being told from Gina POV.
As for Gina... hnmmm, the Lord is our strength.
That being said, this book explores themes of love, attachment, marriage, infidelity, and second chances.

This is my first Adesuwa book and I promise you , I want to read more of her work .
.
But first, Mudiaga if I catch you ….
This book had be all in my feelings. The author didn’t shy away from bringing the messiness and realness that is relationships.
The characters are frustrating and unsettling but give you a lot to learn throughout the story ( Friends, I’m struggling to write this without spoilers 😂)
I loved how the author wrote the side characters as well.
Lotanna collect your flowers 💐
As a lover of hand written letters, I enjoyed reading Mudi’s letters to Gina 🫣
( I love romance books that have MCs text exchanges, emails, letters) yeah Adesuwa had me with those 🥰
This was a short read, it left me wanting more and a reminder to love people the way they want to be loved not how I think they should be loved.
Rating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Each new book of Adesuwa O’man Nwokedi I read triumphs the last and No Perfect Love is no exception.
What begins as a harmless birthday wish from Gina’s first love soon spirals into temptation, letters, flowers 🌹, and secret meetings. Torn between nostalgia and duty, she must face the cracks in her marriage to Tobenna.
What really stood out was Tobenna’s growth. His words — “I might not know how to love you the way Mudiaga does, but if you teach me, I’ll learn” — broke me. By the end, I was firmly Team Tobenna.
A raw, emotional story of forgiveness, second chances, and learning that while perfect love may not exist, chosen love is even better.

No Perfect Love by Adesuwa O'man Nwokedi is a beautiful second-chance romance, involving spousal infidelity/near-infidelity. This is such a lovely read that exposes the need to keep the fires burning in marriage. Well-written and easy to read. Relatable characters and I loved the character development. An enjoyable read overall. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. All opinions expressed are mine.

torn between 3 or four stars....
No Perfect Love is a gripping page turner, the kind of chick lit (I don't think it classifies as a romance novel exactly) that women of all ages can enjoy, but most likely middle aged Nigerian women.
I like flawed characters, so I liked Gina. But it was infuriating that she constantly kept acting like she was blameless in the whole saga, for most of the book. She was going to leave her husband for Gaga. 🙂

This was a captivating read. The kind that keeps you up at night. Gina Tobenna and Mudi's story is filled with many life lessons, expecially on the importance of constant honest communication in marriage, love language, temptation, betrayal, forgiveness and second chances. I highly recommend.

Adesuwa has done it again! She always knows how to captivate you and draw you into a book. Adesuwa the master writer.
This book got a 4 star because it was a bit similar to Iya beji.
Gina Gina! Glad common sense prevailed.
I love Love so much. “Squealing”!!!

No Perfect Love had me hooked till the very end.
From temptation and betrayal to forgiveness and second chances, this book shows why honest communication and understanding your partners love languages truly matter.
A must read, honestly.

I loved this book!! It was a real eye opener on marriage and relationships in general. You know what they say about Not all that Glitters is Gold, that was the case in Tobenna, Gina and Mudiaga’s love triangle.
I enjoyed every bit of it. A solid 5 star for me

Adesuwa has a way of writing romance in a realistic way that gets you hooked till you finish the book.

I always knew I don’t like second chance romance trope, but i do not regret reading this book.it is a good second chance romance story and with Nigerians in their forties? What a nice of feeling to read something unique.

A book on second chance in marriage. I don’t even like love triangle in a bf & gf relationship not to talk of marriage😭😂
- my heart was literally in my mouth, I was lying and sitting at the same time, my emotions were off the roof, anger eluded me but I couldn’t just drop this book.
- I was just screaming “Georgina is the most gullible person i know” cause who forgets the hurt done to one by an ex?
- I felt Tobenna’s emotions deep down cause the guy has the kindest heart.
- Tobenna loves Gina but how will she know when it’s not the way she wants to be loved.
- I love that Adesuwa made the characters go through tough emotions without sweeping things under the carpet, they dealt with their issues just like a renewed kind of love by Adesuwa.
- Such beautiful writing, it’s captivating and keeps one engrossed. When I finished, I felt it in my soul, what a soulful and satisfying story.
