Manage episode 437731248 series 3263993
Ayoka B. is an author who recently published Love at Second Sight. I quote her here, and 100% agree, “A beautiful and layered story of artistry, relationships, and love, this unique novel spans generations. Love At Second Sight gives all the feels. It will make you laugh, cry, and cheer and inspire you to rethink what it means to love. And yes, it's steamy!”
The book explores so many things, but we focus on the theme of blended families and the importance of putting children first in these situations. Ayoka draws from her personal experiences as a single mother and being in a blended family herself. She emphasizes the need for clear and frequent communication, never disparaging the other parent, and listening to the children's feelings. The book is relatable, realistic, and a page-turner. Ayoka also has a playlist accompanying the book, adding another layer to the reading experience.
