I spent the whole morning reading Yvonne Nelson Book “I’m not Yvonne Nelson” and It’s really sad that the media reduced this book to tales of Yvonne Nelson, her relationships with her ex and her abortion for Sarkodie. It was so much more than than. This book is not just an ordinary autobiography. It is a search for an answer to a question that has nagged the author since her childhood. It’s a captivating journey of identity and self discovery. That challenges societal norms and explores the complexities of personal identity. It’s a tale of a young woman struggling to find her place in the world while grappling with the burden of others' expectations. The exploration of identity is a central theme, as the protagonist questions her own existence and contemplates the meaning of individuality. I absolutely love it and I’m glad Yvonne Nelson is courageous enough to share her life with the world. It expires other young women going through similar experiences to not apologise for who they are or try to conform to societal expectations of what their life should be but to be true themselves and chase their dreams, whatever it might be.

It's a beautiful book and quite different it's nothing like any book I've read before. I love how the author gave us a glimpse of the life of each character which help us to know why they act the way they do, it clearly shows that our experiences greatly determine the kind of person we'd become. I love how the author destroyed the misconception many people have about child bearing and fertility in marriage, the African society easily blames the woman for everything, whenever a couple is unable to bear children, all fingers are pointed at the woman, people start asking questions like what kind of life has she lived in the past, was she promiscuous, does barrenness run in her family and nobody take a moment to look at the man, because we believe that every man that has an erection can father a child and impregnate a woman which is not true. Most cases of childlessness in marriage are not from the women like society believes but from the man and this book clearly educate Nigerians and Africans generally about it. I have a lot to say about this book but I'd probably write a full review and share it on my social media handles my Instagram handle @Abelpter and my Facebook Abel Abel Peter.
