“If you are someone who gravitates toward emotional gut punch reads, allow me to introduce you to this spectacular debut…”—BuzzFeed

Here are three things you should know about my husband:

1. He was the great love of my life despite his penchant for going incommunicado.
   
2. He was, as far as I and everyone else could tell, perfectly happy. Which is significant because…
   
3. On New Year’s Eve, he died.

And here is one thing you should know about me:

1. I found him.

Bonus fact: No. I am not okay.

Someday, Maybe is a stunning, witty debut novel about a young woman’s emotional journey through unimaginable loss, pulled along by her tight-knit Nigerian family, a posse of friends, and the love and laughter she shared with her husband.

“Incisive and witty. I couldn’t put it down.”—Lolá Ákínmádé Åkerström, internationally bestselling author of In Every Mirror She's Black

“A masterfully woven exposition on love and loss. Nwabineli is magic with words.”—Bolu Babalola, internationally bestselling author of Honey and Spice

Don't miss Onyi Nwabineli's next stunning page-turner, ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF, where a former kidfluencer must overcome her toxic family, reclaim her identity and, ultimately, find the freedom to be herself...

Beautiful interpretation of grief

Grief in words, but also a bit funny. The personalities leap off the page and the narration is perfect. There were some longer parts and definitely some unanswered questions throughout but I believe by not answering focused on this beautiful theme of not overcoming but moving and growing through grief.

Tough Subject Beautifully Written

This book was chosen as a book club pick. Honestly I wasn’t super excited to read it because of the subject matter, and being mid January when things are pretty gray outside I tend to go for something a little fluffier. The writing is excellent and the performance was too. It would be really easy to get bogged down with such a serious topic and I thought this book did a good job of exploring that but also offered hope mixed in with well timed wit. I loved Eve’s family dynamic and her friend relationships. Overall I enjoyed this one and would definitely listen to more from this author.

Loved the realness of the story!

I truly enjoyed this book. Although Sad. It was very real and helps one see what it’s like to lose someone you love to suicide.

Such a great read

Though this was a difficult subject to listen to and digest, I absolutely loved this book. Such a GREAT book for a debut author!

challenges of grieving

they could have done better with a narrator that could pronounce the igbo words and phrases better.
