Kemi's Journal and Zack's Story.

This month we are featuring two books from the same author Abidemi Sanusi.

A little history on Abi Sanusi is we know she was born in Lagos, and was educated in the UK at a boarding schools in Sussex and Oxfordshire, and then at Leeds University. Sanusi is a human rights worker and writer, specializing in gender and conflict issues in West Africa.
A little bit about the books
Kemi's JournalKemi's Journal is the story of a twenty-something high-flying London advertising executive. Kemi has to reconcile her new found Christian faith with a demanding career, trying to get over a non-believing ex-boyfriend Zack and living in the shadow of her best friend Vanessa with her perfect fiancé Mark. Kemi's faith is sometimes very strong and can resist temptations and other times God takes a back seat as the arms of Zack appears more alluring. How does she cope with being a Christian in the cut-throat world of advertising, being intimate with Zack and the joy of a personal relationship with Jesus? This is a bold novel that tackles the moral decisions many young women have to make about crisis of faith, sex before marriage, unplanned pregnancy and abortion with openness, sensitivity and maturity.
Zack's Story
In this much awaited sequel to Kemi's Journal, readers get to hear Zack's side of the story. Welcome to Zack's world – in which he plays a rich confusion of roles. He didn't plan to be a father, but now that baby Yanis is on the scene he's determined to take parenting seriously, perhaps dealing with some of the dark shadows of his past en route. As for being a husband, he’s wanted that for a long time – but the volatile Kemi he loves so much doesn’t make it easy for him. And neither does the office temptress, Maxine! Then there is the part of the up-and-coming big shot corporate lawyer. Zack's determined to be a success, but will he have to learn the hard way about choosing between personal integrity and compromise? He also recently become a born-again believer. Is Zack just trying to please the Bible-hugging Kemi or will he make sense of the whole God thing for himself?

Ok I’m more a fan of Kemi's journal but Zack's Journal isn't that far behind...thought his story finished unresolved...but then I realised that's art imitating life...refreshing change compared with the usual Hollywood stories

Bizarre for me was the fact that I felt like I was being pressured to change my attitude towards Kemi when I read Zack’s journal...I know it is supposed to be from his point of view but it puts a negative spin on women with careers...didn’t support that.

Whatever sha...all in all these are good book!
