“What Love Left Unfinished” is a beautifully written memoir that narrates the poignant love story between the author, Esther, and her late husband, Tobi. Their love story is so remarkable that some readers might find it hard to believe it’s not fictional. Set in Nigeria, Esther’s storytelling immerses you in every moment, making you feel as though you are right there with her. She takes us on an emotional journey through love, loss, heartbreak, and healing. The author has an incredible ability to express her emotions so vividly that you’ll find yourself smiling, laughing, blushing…and shedding tears. I admire her courage in sharing her story with such honesty and vulnerability, giving us a glimpse into her shock, pain, grief, and the eventual path to recovery. I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it.
