Hi hi. I know itβs been long I reviewed a book. The plan was to take a break because of my exams but things got overwhelming, so I took a break from academic reading by leafing through the pages of βBridges Are For Burningβ by Bina Idonije and Iβm here to tell you about THIS book that eased me off the accumulated stress of getting an LL.B degree in UI.

Bridges are For Burning is that decent Harlequin Nigerian read interwoven with hurtful, aching lessons about friendship, love, sisterhood and life in general. This isnβt your βI Burnnn For Youβ typical read. Rather, what was burnt is trust, sacredness of marriage, and peace of mind.

I particularly love how Bina made a not so significant/major character the thorn in the flesh for the major characters. Trust me, I wanted to deal with Ella as much as Gigi wanted to.
π¦
I also liked how Bina through her characters depicted but not justify how infidelity starts and as an act both genders are guilty of.
π¦
The ease in transition from a tense scene to a cozy one especially with regards to Mudi and Alana made it an enjoyable read.

Some mistakes are too costly and change the trajectory of things forever! For one, I really really wanted Gigi to be that βperfectβ character but her past never stopped making grand appearances.

Communication is key in any relationship, marital, friendship name it. The relationship between Gigi and Alana was in my view one-sided and in a way unhealthy, especially to Gigi. There were conversations Gigi and Alana should have had and trashed out.

Events that canβt be undone are the most painful ones but you have to forgive for the sake of your inner peace while letting the connected bridges burn to ashes.
Lastly, thereβs someone who will FORGIVE, CHOOSE & LOVE YOU for YOU

I absolutely enjoyed reading Bridges Are For Burning and canβt wait to reread the book after my exams, especially Mudiβs partπ ( a big shout out to Mudiβs Character by the way) and binge watch the movie adaptation, should one be adopted.β¨
