The romance novel, which follows the story of two estranged ex-lovers, will be available across stores in Nigeria, offering a blend of second chances, personal growth, and the vibrancy of a Lagos Christmas setting.
In 2022, Tomilola Coco Adeyemo’s submission to Brittle Paper led to an unexpected partnership with Masobe Books. After reading her work, the editor, Dr. Edoro, recommended it to Masobe’s CEO, creating a new publishing opportunity for Adeyemo. While she had found success as an indie author, this marked a significant achievement in her career.
Adeyemo initially wrote A Very Gidi Christmas in 2020 as a simple e-book project to generate income. However, Masobe’s interest prompted a deeper revision of the story, leading to its upcoming print release.
