“Review for the Emotional Affair
@ufuomaee you are the ink that never runs dry and on this book you have outdone yourself. The push was so glaring, it was obvious you wanted to create an extraordinary story with a deep touch of reality! It sure came out well!
While reading this book, the writer in me already calculated the end but you went into our minds and surprised us.
This book is not the regular one, it was really intriguing and hard to resist. You made it so real and you thought us once again that challenges in marriage can be worked on.
You are that amazing writer who is giving us a great hope that marriage can still work even in the heat of challenges.
The way you use your writing to preach the gospel oh @ufuomaee it challenges the writer in me. God blessed this generation with you. You are the light that keeps shining.
Emotional affair was worth every second. Bolu and Lola’s story is one of faith, forgiveness, trust, surrender and love!
View CommentI loved how you gave us some beautiful suspense and I almost thought she was going to say Yes to Danny.
Kudos to you sis. You are the don and I do love you.

View CommentThanks Janet ? I appreciate your review.
View CommentI have finished reading An Emotional Affair, and l was very delighted with it because it made me understand the importance of valuing our position in marriage. And l also learned to have strong love and value for our partner. We do not want to hide our love from each other, we want to practice it all the time to keep it growing, and we should be truthful with each other, so we can have solid trust in our partner. We need to share our problems together and commit them to our heavenly father. Lastly, we ought to practice forgiveness, always ready to forgive each other freely just as our heavenly father forgives us without charge. As you do this, remember that both of you are not two, but one, in union with Christ. Thanks for reading my review. Please try and get your copy. You will really enjoy reading it, as it will add a lot of wisdom to your marriage.

View CommentFirst of all, I’m going to fight with anyone that sees this book and doesn’t even attempt to read it.
View CommentAn Emotional Affair is a book that touches on very important issues that everyone can learn from. I have to commend Ufuomaee for writing a book with such great lessons without it coming across as preachy.
I was able to feel the emotions of every character especially Lola. There were some decisions she made that made me want to enter the book and say ‘No’ but at the same time I could also relate with her thoughts.
In conclusion, this was a great read and I am definitely going to read it again and recommend to everyone I know
Thanks so much for this! I’m glad you loved it ?

???????????????????????????????????????? You’re amazing. You’re now a literary evangelist. Beautiful story. Lovely twists and turns. And redemption for all involved.
Wow! Well done!
View CommentIt was worth every minute I spent reading it.
Thanks, Anietie! I really appreciate you taking the time to read and give me your review. Blessings to you x
View CommentBig shout-out to @ufuomaee for this beautiful piece. In a world where the woman is expected to do everything to “keep” her home, it was interesting to read about a man who did everything he could to keep his.
This book reinforced my belief in trusting God wholeheartedly and not giving in to over confidence……… ”Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall”
And can we talk about Danny’s audacity? I need his audacity plug abeg 😂. Every move he made had me exclaiming. That guy’s got guts for days!
View CommentThanks so much for this beautiful review! God bless you!
View CommentSomebody play the Universal Pictures theme song….🎶🎻🥁🎹
Clears throat.
Welcome to another review.
Don’t mind the dramatic intro, but a book like An Emotional Affair deserves nothing less.
Besides the stunning cover (Please, Ufuomaee update the Goodreads cover 🥹🥹🥹🥹), the title was one I’d always found intriguing.
An emotional affair. What the hell did that mean?
Some time ago, I found out that a spouse could very well have an emotional affair with someone, even without doing anything physical.
This is the part where I add that if you want to read another book on emotional affairs, Adesuwa O’man Nwokedi’s Where Is The Love, is something that will give you the same feels as An Emotional Affair.
Back to the review…Lola is feeling neglected by her husband Bolu, who wants to make it so he can spoil his wife silly. It shouldn’t shock you that the cruel mistress called life turns his plans upside down. Danny happens to stroll into Lola’s life at a time when she and her husband are distant from each other.
Danny is doing all the things Lola wants from a partner, and I’ll be honest and say that the guy was really smooth and charming and yours truly might have fallen for him.
Lola is close to forsaking her marital vows but trust God to intervene in miraculous ways.
This is the part where I say Bimbo has to be one of the best fictional mothers-in-law I’ve read. The way she is there for her son and daughter-in-law is remarkable, and I wish everyone could be blessed with a mother-in-law like her.
Anyway, God intervenes and snaps Lola to her senses, but she is entangled. She doesn’t want to want Danny, but she does. It’s easy to condemn Lola. 😂😂. I did in my Instagram stories, but something Bimbo said hit me hard.
Paraphrasing, she said, “When temptation comes, we only look at the head, we never see its tail.”
This is quite true. It’s easy to be caught up in the pleasure of the moment, but sin and temptation take you farther than you bargained for.
Let me stop here, lest I spoil the book. Everyone should read An Emotional Affair, particularly those who are married and those who desire marriage.
An Emotional Affair will take you on an emotional rollercoaster that will have you gripping the edge of your seats, unable to sleep till you finish and leave you with thought-provoking lessons on forgiveness, fidelity, honesty, and the grace and love of a God who would have all to be saved.
View CommentWow, such a beautiful review!!! Thank you so much, Iyanu!
View CommentAn Emotional Affair wow so emotional this book is not only interesting it is enlightening and engaging. I love how it explains so many things from forgiveness to love to redemption like…… There’s really no one God cannot save the devil just happened to be a very convincing lair
Thank you ma for this great, excellent and enlightening book 💯💯.
View CommentYeah, An Emotional Affair is deep! Thanks for the review.
View CommentIndeed marriage takes two to make it work. Lola and Bolu didn’t realize that by their actions they created a distance between them , opening a crack for the enemy to enter. Emotions are the first place to strike before getting the physical reveal. Danny knew that and worked on it. The power of a praying and understanding mother. Lola Indeed had a good mother-in-law.
View CommentI am glad that Danny finally got to know God and was free from the bandage of sin.
An emotional affair is packed full with shades of joy, anger, faith, forgiveness and second chances. A must read for the married. Everyone should know that they all have a part in making their marriage work.
Thanks for your lovely review.
View CommentEmotional Affair lived up to its name and exceeded expectations.
There are many lessons I took out from this book;
📌It takes the two people to make marriage work, everyone must bring their individual 100% to achieve a beautiful outcome. It took Bolu and Lola recognising their individual roles to make it work.
📌 There’s a saying, Not all that glitters is gold. That was the case of Danny. Beneath all of the demure on the surface lay a heart that was full of evil. I’m glad God showed that he is God after all and changed his life.
📌 Communication is key! Staying open to your partner is the key to avoid drifting.
📌Correction should be done in love. As in the case of Bimbo, I’m glad she later embraced Lola better.
This is a 5⭐ for me.
View CommentThank you so much! I love your review.
View CommentMy lessons?
– The holy spirit is always there to reveal, instruct, and direct. It’s our choice to listen and act like how Bolu and Lola did.
– It takes intentionality from both parties to make any marriage or relationship work. Never neglect your partner in search of the good things in life.
– Never neglect the place of prayer and study of the word. It’s from that source we are able to win the battles of life.
This is such a beautiful novel Ufuoma
View CommentThanks Tofunmi! I’m glad you got lots from it.
View CommentOh my! What a read!
Such a page turner! I could not drop the book until I finished.
You see Lola ehn! When it’s getting to ‘can I call you Lily?’ I just knew she’s courting with trouble. But I’m really glad that she came to her senses in good time.
But you see that Danny! Ahhhh! I get that he’s a bad boy but I didn’t expect that he was that rotten.
A soul exchange for fame and wealth. What a bad deal. Guy didn’t even know the worth of his soul. It also goes to prove that no matter how far ‘we think’ we’ve gone, we are not irredeemable. God loves us still.
For Bolu, I wonder why no one is talking about his affair too. I mean he cheated also. Yes! He cheated on Lola with his job. And it goes to prove just how important communication is in marriage. In a bid to provide a ‘better life’ for Lola. He almost lost her. That’s the deceit of the devil. The deception of ‘if only’…
If only I work more hours…
If only I get that promotion…
Striving but never getting there, because when we think we have it. Something else is dangled in front of us and the race begins all over again
Bolu’s mom ehnnnn 😂😂 I love her but I don’t like her. She too do 😂
A very good story by Ufomaee, rich with lessons and many wisdom. Thank you Ufomaee.
View CommentA passionate review in deed. I’m glad you loved it.
View CommentThere is nothing ordinary about the book “An Emotional Affairs” , this book is screamingggg extraordinary because whatttttttt!
I’ve read books about infidelity but “An Emotional Affairs” is topping the list. It was truly an emotional affairs because it was not the characters that was caught in the web of emotions, we the readers too felt different emotions .
I learnt a lot from this book and I don’t think I can recover from this book. Thank you @ufuomaee
View CommentThank you, Glow! I’m blessed.
View CommentI liked the book! I loved how it exposed the emotional tussles that goes on in marriages. When a couple who have taken vows “till death do is part” now decide to part before death, it’s hardly ever from just one single accident. It’s a buildup of little things. But borrowing the words of Bolu, it’s a decision to sin and it’s a decision to forgive. Always remember, “let he that he stands. . .”
View CommentThanks, Toyin! Glad you enjoyed it and got much from it.
View CommentJust finished Emotional Affair and let me tell you…… it’s an amazing story . I must be honest and say I almost DNF’d this book , Danny was getting on my last nerves and Lola aka Lily was just naive. But I needed to know the end and it didn’t disappoint. I love how God saved their married and saved Danny from his bondage , he honestly didn’t deserve saving. If it was left to me ,my man would’ve rotten in hell! But God is merciful and we should all strive to be more like him.
Would highly recommend this read, you will learn a lot !!
View CommentLOL! I’m glad you finished it. Thanks for the review.
View CommentWhat an awesome piece!!!🤭
I’m really glad I came across the book…
My lessons include:
1. Never to neglect my home and marriage
2. Always follow the leadings of the Holyspirit
3. Flee from sexual temptations
4. God is every ready to listen to us if we call on Him
Thank you ma’am for this beautiful book🙏😊
View CommentGod bless you immensely 🙏 and crown your efforts with results
Yeah! Thanks for reading and reviewing! Amen!
View CommentI’m actually loss of words to say.
I’ve never seen someone write this way, this is not just mere flattery.
Emotional affair is a book everyone should read. I personally learnt a lot from this book.
I love the way the Author communicates through her characters.
View CommentI wish there was a way I can give this a hundred star rating.
Oh wow, thank you! I’m glad you like the way I write. Me too!!!
View CommentAn Emotional Affair! I don’t have the words to describe this book but I could totally relate to everything written in it.
View CommentThere are so many lessons to take from this book. An Emotional Affair is indeed emotional, you’ll experience many emotions from anger to fear to love to forgiveness. Oh, I really felt for Lola because I could totally relate to all that she felt in her marriage and can totally understand how she could have fallen for Danny but thank God for a God-fearing spouse in Bolu and that he woke up to see what was happening in his marriage and was able to run to God before it became too late. I love that Danny was also redeemed. All the characters played their parts well to make this book a must read. I’ll recommend “An Emotional Affair” to all married couples and even singles.
My take home is this “Temptation is common to all but the wise run where the foolish linger”. I pray for wisdom for us all. God bless you Ufuomaee. Thank you for yielding to God. May you continue to be a blessing
Thank you so much! I’m glad it blessed you.
View CommentWow
That’s all I can say for An Emotional Affair.
Reading this book gave me an insight to a lot of things that happens in marriage. One thing she did with this book was show how this thing work. Most times, you might feel relaxed and the Devil tries to take what is in your possession. Also, you might feel you are standing, but then you are falling or have fallen sef.
There are a lot of lessons to draw from the book and I enjoyed reading it and would always recommend it.
View CommentThank you for this lovely review!
View CommentThis is my second time reading, and Lola still had me screaming “Haa!” a couple of times. I need Danny’s audacity plug abeg. The gut of that guy. LOL! This was indeed an Emotional Affair. It’s easy to condemn Lola for putting herself in a such position with Danny, but that could easily be any of us if we are not cautious.
I’m reminded of the bible passage that says “Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall”. As humans, we tend to think we can handle temptations because we believe so much in our logical reasoning. If only we would realise that the spirit but the flesh is weak, and so it’s better to not put ourselves in the position at all.
In the end, it’s not about how strong we think we are, but about recognizing our limits and relying on God’s strength to keep us from falling. Sometimes, the best way to avoid temptation is to steer clear of it altogether. Lola’s experience is a reminder that no one is above making mistakes, and we must remain vigilant and humble in all situations.
I’m glad that everything turned out well in the end, and most importantly, Danny gave his life to Christ.
View CommentThank you so much!
View CommentEven the title itself piqued my interest from the beginning and I was curious as to how the story would unfold. Imagine my surprise when I realised the story was about emotional affairs happening in the marriage setting. My naive self had only assumed that was only a possibility prior to marriage vows. This book opened my eyes to so many things, especially how easily the female species can get entwined in a situationship. Indeed, not everything that excites is good, and its beneficial to hearken early to the warning signals the Holy Spirit and one’s conscience brings.
View CommentI learned about forgiveness, mutual communication and understanding, trust, amid many other things. I loved the relatableness of the characters in this story. One of the things that enamoured me so deeply to this novel was the redemptive arc that the antagonist of the story, Danny went through.
This is a must read for every Christian couple and single alike. We need to guard our hearts with all diligence. God bless the author for such an amazing story.
An Emotional Affair was a quick and interesting read with good lessons for everyone, especially married couples.
View CommentThis book is just so wonderful 🥹
View CommentIt shows and tells a lot. Likeeeeee
It is a perfect analogy of Romans 8:1. There is no condemnation in Christ and no one is beyond redemption.
It also shows that sometimes we subconsciously place our career or other things above God and he finds a way to draw us back to Him we question Him( like Bolu did when he had the accident) but then it is for our good. Everything works out for the good of God’s people.
Also we are not above the temptations thrown our way.
Let me stop here because there are so many things to like from the book. Likeeeeee❤️❤️❤️
An emotional affair is a book filled with multiple lessons. It emphasizes the importance of communication in marriage.
One out of the multiple lessons learnt is that effective communication is essential for a healthy and happy marriage. Your communication can determine the course of your marriage by strengthening or weakening it. From actions and inactions in marriages, there is a need for effective communication.
Ufuomaee, you are indeed a phenomenal writer 💯💯💯💯💯
View CommentThe emotional affair
View CommentI think at this point we all need to give this amazing woman “Ufuomaee” her flowers 🌹🌹💐💐.
And I think it’s becoming an habit for me not to be able to drop her book til I finish reading. As someone who has once been in a situationship I think I understand a little how Lola feels- and it’s crazy when you know exactly what to do and what God wants you to do but your emotions are not meeting up to that.
Ultimately “The emotional affair” is a book about forgiveness, trust, redemption and second chances.
