About this listen

From USA TODAY bestselling author Nana Malone, a romance about a Ghanaian American heiress faced with the dilemma of choosing between culture and a love connection.

During an opulent publishing party, Ofosua Addo crosses paths with Cole Drake for the first time. Their flirtatiously witty exchange culminates in a kiss that etches a permanent mark on both their hearts.

But Ofosua’s identity as a Ghanaian heiress comes before Cole. She loves the vibrant traditions of Ghana’s Gold Coast, and her hand is already promised to a man that even her overbearing mother loves. Yet, when her big Ghanaian wedding transforms from a fairy tale into a spectacle, she’s thrust into a whirlwind of heartbreak and self-discovery.

In the midst of it all, Cole enters her life once again, under circumstances far different from their magical first encounter. Can Ofosua and Cole’s rediscovered spark overcome the weight of tradition?

Whew, Gold Coast Dilemma by Nana Malone. This book, eh? It hit me in places I didn't even know were open. As a Black Caribbean woman, I've seen my share of expectations – from family, from community, from simply existing in certain spaces. So, Ofosua's journey? It felt like looking in a mirror, but with a Ghanaian accent and a publishing empire.
Malone truly captured that delicate dance of balancing tradition with individual desire. That whole pressure of an arranged marriage, even when you've got your own life mapped out, it's a feeling a lot of us know, even if the specifics are different. And the way she navigated the microaggressions in the publishing world, the constant need to prove herself in rooms that weren't built for her, that part was almost too real. You could feel the weight of every slight, every dismissive glance, and the sheer exhaustion of having to constantly be "on."
But it wasn't all struggle, bless. The glimpse into Ghanaian culture was a vibrant feast – the food, the customs, the family dynamics, even the aunties who mean well but just… do too much. It made me think of my own aunties, loud and loving and always in your business, but with the best intentions. And Cole? Well, he had his moments of privilege, as they often do, but his willingness to learn and be an actual ally, not just a performative one, was refreshing. The slow burn of their romance, finding that spark amidst all the chaos, it just felt right. This book isn't just a love story; it's a testament to self-discovery, to claiming your space, and to finding joy in who you are, even when the world tries to tell you otherwise. Nana Malone truly understands the nuances of our experiences, and she laid it all out beautifully.
