Review Detail of Minoaahh in Ocean eyes: A Nigerian teen romance

The start is quite intense. It was emotionally driven. The opening is strong, and gripping, and sets a dark and heavy tone for the narrative. The author was sensitive in portraying the character's emotional turmoil and desperation. Nonetheless, this can still feel somewhat jarring to some readers, but it is necessary to set the stage for the emotional oscillations to follow. I also believe that showcasing the school life of the character is smart. It explores the protagonist's contrasting public persona versus her private struggles. It highlights how people with mental health can appear very differently on the surface. Chapter after chapter the tension grows higher. Layers and layers of conflict have been added. IMO, the story is quite engaging and will encourage the readers to invest in the journey of the protagonist. However, there are instances when it feels melodramatic. Also, the dialogue part sometimes veers toward being 'on-the-nose' which may affect the potential realism of the story. Still, I love several aspects of this story, especially the 1st person POV which allows the readers to look deeply into the feelings and thoughts of the character. The exploration of the conflicts and the mental health of the character is done with raw intensity. This is not the usual story that you will encounter here on this platform, but I suggest you give it a chance.
