A Story for a Price #976680

 

Nobody can answer that question the same way.

 

Some say she changed after Wole. Others insist she was always like this — too soft for people who only knew how to take. But when screenshots begin leaking from private chats, old voice notes resurface, and friendships collapse under the weight of secrets, everyone is forced to confront the version of themselves they carefully hid behind glowing screens.

 

A Story for a Price is an epistolary novel told entirely through WhatsApp conversations, deleted messages, voice notes, status updates, and midnight confessions. It follows a tangled group of young people with naïve worldviews trying to navigate love, friendship, heartbreak, and the exhausting performance of adulthood.

 

At the center is Damilola, who keeps loving Wole despite every cruel thing he has done to her. The insults. The lies. The manipulation. The humiliation she pretends not to notice. And while her friends watch in frustration, they are dealing with battles of their own — relentless bullying, perceived betrayals, gossip disguised as concern, and backbiting so vicious it leaves permanent scars.

 

In a world where everyone is always watching, every text becomes dangerous. Every silence becomes suspicious. And every relationship comes with a price.

 

Raw, intimate, funny, and painfully honest, A Story for a Price explores the chaos of modern friendships and the emotional wreckage young people leave behind while trying desperately to be loved.
