The Three of Us by Ore Agbaje-Williams

APPLE | GOOGLE | SPOTIFY | AMAZON

What would you do if your two favorite people, your partner, and your best friend, hated each other?  Discover the captivating dynamics between characters in Ore Agbaje-Williams’ debut novel, The Three of Us.  Ore shares her insights on the characters, along with discussing the origin of the story from a real-life conversation with her best friend.

Join us as we laugh over the character of Temi, who embodies the no-nonsense, honest approach to her beliefs, even when it is against the social norm. With her wit and sharp comebacks, she isn’t afraid to speak her mind, making her the most upfront character in the story. As we dive deeper into the novel, we also ponder on the idea that falling in love doesn’t always result in happy endings, and discuss five literary relationships where breaking up was the best choice.
