I thought everything was over.
I thought I would be free from everything.
But then...he showed up.
Why? Why did it have to be now?
"Look at me, Tilda," His soothing voice came.
I didn't want to look at him. I knew better than to do so.
I felt his hand on my chin and he titled my face in the direction of his.
I knew myself very well. I couldn't resist those eyes...those eyes, there was something about them that I couldn't resist. He didn't know, but he was luring me further into a trap that I knew I could never find my way back.
Matilda Olusegun is the only child of wealthy parents. However, with the death of her father when she was just seven, and the sudden remarriage of her mother after his death, her life takes a drastic turn.
Life in itself, coupled with the emotional struggles she faces at home, plunges her into a world of doubts and uncertainties. A world of "What Ifs?" And "Why's?"
Opting for suicide as the only way out of the pit of torment that had subdued her for years, things don't, however, go as she planned instead, she comes to learn of the secrets that lie beneath her actions - It was him.
The mysterious boy with blue eyes emerges from both worlds known to her. Who really is he?
Read as things go beyond what the eyes can picture and understand, and how Matilda finds happiness once again in the owner of those ocean eyes.

Hi there! Thank you for stopping by!However, this is my very first romance novel on here that is placed in a Nigerian setting. Ocean eyes is just a novel I started writing for fun and that's one of many reasons why I love it. I hope you get the same experience of fun while reading.
This is a very fun and enjoyable read. At first, I was confused by the language; however, the information at the bottom of the chapters cleared up any confusion. The writing quality is top-notch. And the novel itself is a breadth of fresh air.
This story brings me back to my days in secondary school 😭 As a Nigerian, a lot of MC’s experiences are immensely relatable and made this such a fun novel to read. The author’s way of writing is also immensely gripping and I absolutely love MC’s best friend! She’s literally me as a person (minus the wealth 💀) I can’t wait to read more!
To be honest, I actually didn't think much of this novel at first since I'm not a fan of romance novels. But something drew me to it. I found things that I could relate with in real life. Maybe it's because I'm a Nigerian and the use of the vocabulary is purely Nigerian (English and broken English - pidgin) is something I hear on a daily basis. Also, the behaviours and attitudes of the different characters are very realistic. For example, the character of her Mother. I just love how the author portrays Nigeria correctly in this book.

A great novel properly portraying Nigerian lifestyle, though not a fan of romance. This one has a special vibe to it. You should really give it a try 'cos you'll enjoy it!
When I first saw the title of the novel, I was like "😨What Nigerian romance". but when I started reading it I was actually impressed, although I don't know much about romance life because I have not experienced it 🤧or even like romance novels much. 😐 I have to admit the authors novel is amazing. 😁🤧 Keep it up.
So far, the story is very interesting and it did hook me up🤭 can’t wait to read more. The way the author conveys words and expressions used by Nigerians only makes the book more unique and it’s done very well! Good job 👏 keep it!
