Adult Friendships No Be Beans – By Fola Keona

Because Staying Connected Is Hard Work. We all know the phrase “no be beans”—meaning something isn’t as easy as it looks. Adult friendship is exactly that. As we grow, life gets in the way: careers, marriage, distance, and changing values can turn even the best of friends into strangers.

In this debut book, Fola Keona (Adeoti Onabolu) explores the unspoken realities of adult connection. Blending personal stories with cultural insights, she provides a roadmap for anyone feeling lonely or confused by their social circle. This isn’t just a book; it’s a companion for anyone who wants to “show up” better for their friends while protecting their own peace.

Key Features:

• Real Talk for Real Life: Addresses the awkward stuff—like how to end a friendship, how to set boundaries without being “rude,” and how to handle the grief of a falling out.

• Conversational Style: Written in a story-rich, engaging tone that feels like you’re having a deep chat with a wise sister or friend.

• Cultural Context: Deeply rooted in the Nigerian experience, acknowledging the specific social pressures and expectations we face.

• Soul-Care Focus: Beyond just “socializing,” it focuses on connection as a tool for personal growth and mental well-being.

• Perfect Gift: An ideal present for that friend you want to keep forever, or for someone entering a new phase of life (like moving to a new city or starting a new job).
