Witty poetry holds a special place in my head and heart, so this was a really easy read. Face Me l Face You hits with a mix of hilarity and nostalgia - there's no way it won't have you nodding, laughing, and reminiscing - and it aptly captures the chaos of shared living. It is a pleasant read, filled with characters we all know too well.

Customer Review

  • I enjoyed this book so much. Face Me I Face You is a collection of poems and, I dare say short stories that completely engulf you from start to finish. The art is so pretty and it helps readers reach peak imagination. I enjoyed the humor so much and it is my favorite part of the book. The book is so funny that I caught myself laughing at almost every page. I also love how this book highlights reality and the everyday life of Nigerians. Its brilliance is impeccable and the choice of words to form sentences is interesting.

  • Just at the beginning of this book, I knew I would read it over and over again. I love the writer’s ability to give an interesting and unique voice to each character. I admire how she told the stories of everyday people interestingly. Everyone who has lived or is living in this type of accommodation might get nostalgic. The narrative technique makes it feel like someone is holding you by the hand and branching at each door, telling you about each tenant.

  • I used to think that I didn't like poetry or that poetry was too difficult to understand, but reading this book makes me feel like I've missed out on potential books that I would have enjoyed. It is easy to read and hilarious, too. It makes me excited to see books that tell our human stories intentionally and in a relatable way. The playlist was also a hit companion to enjoy the book. It's a very non-exclusive book and anyone can enjoy it. This is the best poetry book I have ever come across. Well written, Oyindamola!
