Synopsis

Reuniting with her family and partying in Accra until sunrise? Part of the plan. Catching feelings for two very different boys? Definitely not!When first-year university student Robyn Carter travels to Ghana for winter break, it's the first time she's been back since her mother's passing ten years prior. The trip is the perfect escape from her father's academic expectations and an opportunity to finally learn more about her mother, the one subject he refuses to discuss.The last person Robyn expects to meet is Osei Mensah, her grandmother's beloved neighbour and a budding photographer. The young creative is a big dreamer who wears his heart on his sleeve and is everything pragmatic Robyn shouldn't want.Especially not when Osei's childhood friend, Kelvin Williams, is a charming pre-med student also visiting from her hometown and her exact type on paper. As Robyn uncovers the truth about her late mother's past, logic and emotion begin to clash and she can't help but wonder if following her heart instead of her father's carefully laid-out plan, might be a shot worth taking after all.Perfect for fans of Bolu Babalola and Jenny Han, this heartfelt YA debut is a coming-of-age story about restoring family, taking risks, and living life on your own terms.

I had the lovely opportunity to receive an ARC of this warm, fuzzy, beautifully written book and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Our FMC, Robyn, was an absolute delight to read about. She reminded me so much of other young, messy, brilliant protagonists like Belly from The Summer I Turned Pretty and Devi fro......more

Goodreads review by Sinmi on June 19, 2025

Got an early audiobook read and loved every moment of it. Jessica Carmichael’s The Full Picture is a powerful, multilayered exploration of identity, erasure, and visibility. A half Ghanaian and Bajan girl heading to Ghana for the infamous ‘Detty December’ but also on a path to find out about her dec......more
