Everything Is Not Enough

By: Lola Akinmade Åkerström

In Everything Is Not Enough, international bestselling author Lola Akinmade Åkerström returns with a riveting tale of three Black women navigating life and love in Sweden's egalitarian society.

Kemi faces a dilemma: stay in Sweden to salvage a relationship or chase her thriving career? For Brittany-Rae, the gilded life comes with its own chains, and a divorce might not mean an equal split. As for Yasmiin, her newfound life and love are marred by shadows of a haunting past. As their stories intertwine, each woman grapples with issues of place, prejudice, and patriarchal norms in contemporary Europe.
