'60% of a True Story' is written by Osisiye Tafa, a Banker by day and writer by night.

Read excerpt from book;

"I once asked Tolani, the Faculty sweetheart, out. No, I am not greedy and did not over-reach. The thing is, Tolani and I were good friends. We were always hanging around the cafeteria and faculty staircases, sharing jokes and stuff.

I helped her carry her books and she sometimes left her phone with me for the entire day so I could play games on it. On some evenings, when the Faculty was quiet, she would buy suya ,Viju milk and short bread. Then we would wear sweaters and head for the class.

At 2 a.m., she would lean into me and sleep till 5 a.m. when we returned to our hostels. Other nights we would go to the Akintunde Ojo Library, a windowless building with creaking fans and bright fluorescents. The mosquitoes were many. I would hold her tight to protect her from them and she would mumble her thanks. Surely, there was some love."
