A forbidden magic. An impossible pregnancy. A love that defies all odds.

Nick, a struggling mechanic in the vibrant, bustling streets of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, inherits more than just his late grandfather's dusty trunk. He inherits an ancient, leather-bound journal filled with cryptic symbols and dangerous secrets – a journal that whispers of forgotten magic and twisted destinies. When his desperate sister, Nicole, demands he use the journal to grant her a child, Nick unwillingly delves into the dark arts, unaware of the devastating price he'll have to pay.

The spell works, but not as expected. Nick finds himself pregnant, carrying the child meant for his sister. He's thrust into a world of bewilderment, societal judgment, and a growing, undeniable connection with his best friend, Greg, who becomes his unwavering support system.

As Nick's body changes and his secret becomes harder to hide, they navigate the complexities of their burgeoning love amidst the backdrop of Nigerian social norms, the ever-present threat of exposing the magical secret and the relentless probing eyes of curious townspeople, most notably Ella, Nick's long time admirer, who is starting to suspect something.

From the chaotic energy of Port Harcourt's markets to the hushed intimacy of their hidden hospital room, Nick and Greg must face the impossible: raising a child born of magic, fighting for their love, and battling the prejudices that threaten to tear them apart.

"LET'S NOT BE FRIENDS" is a compelling blend of African fantasy, LGBTQ+ romance, and magical realism. It's a tale of forbidden love, found family, and the power of defying societal expectations in the face of the extraordinary. Discover a world where ancient magic collides with modern life, and love blossoms in the most unexpected of places.
