The Three of Us - Ore Agbaje-Williams

 The Three of Us - Ore Agbaje-Williams


Release Date: May 16, 2023

She read


One day in the life of a married couple in London and the wife’s best friend who always seems to be there annoying the husband.  Told from three point of views,  the wife, the husband, and the friend, Temi.  Temi and Wife are long standing friends; Temi thought Wife would never desert her by marrying, especially someone like Husband.  The negative feelings are mutual between Husband and Temi.  And there is a lot of wine.  


This is a quick, short read. I enjoyed Temi’s POV the most. Although irritating, she was quite humorous.  There was good insight into the cultural expectations of women and, in particular, Nigerian descended women.  The ending was quite abrupt and left me saying, “what?” This is yet another book in which I am seeing an increasing trend of not employing quotation marks.  


Thanks to #netgalley and #Penguingroup #putnambooks for the ARC.
