A laugh-out-loud Ghanaian romantic comedy about chaos, healing, and second chances in marriage.
When Nana Yaw Owusu decides he wants a painful divorce from his wealthy, successful wife, he expects drama, tears, and a legendary breakup worthy of an Oscar.
What he doesn't expect is to fall hopelessly back in love with her.
His wife, Nana Ama, CEO of Ama's Empire, loves fiercely and gives generously-sometimes too generously. Her affection makes Nana Yaw feel pampered, invisible, and dangerously insecure. Convinced he's being oppressed by kindness, he launches Operation Painful Divorce, complete with a therapist's questionable advice, badly written love notes, disastrous cooking attempts, and a sister who acts like the Minister of Gossip and Intervention.
But the plan fails spectacularly.
Every step Nana Yaw takes to ruin the marriage only pulls him closer to the woman he once took for granted. And when the truth finally explodes, the couple must confront heartbreak, forgiveness, and the messy, hilarious journey of rebuilding love.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- Romantic comedy with strong African flavour
- Marriage stories full of warmth, chaos, and emotional depth
- Characters who feel real, funny, and flawed
- Second-chance romance with heart-melting moments
- A feel-good ending that leaves you smiling
