    Ooh, Love Where Do You Get the Nerve!

    A poetry-flavored tale of unrequited love, inspired by true events

    By C. O. Okongo. 4.8 from 4 reviews.

    A quasi-romantic tale of unrequited love that takes us on a ride-along with the narrator as he recounts one of his most consequential early-life experiences. Told through letters and poems addressed to 'Love' and 'April', it is a self-healing writing journey presented with raw authenticity.

    Poetry / Romance / Memoir. Paperback. 2026. 95 pages. KES 1500.
