Welcome to the Love in cancun Page. But before we get started, let me answer the FAQ - Where Can You Buy Love in Cancun?
In addition to Amazon shopping sites all over the world, a growing list of outlets where the book can be bought in Nigeria can be found here.
So What Is Love in Cancun? The Amazon.com Best Seller – Love In Cancun by Tope Ganiyah Fajingbesi
was published in April 2016. The story is as follows:
How does one deal with the passing of the most important person in their life, and then deal with the loss of a six-figure job? Nurah hit the pause button on her hectic life and went to Cancun, Mexico, leaving everything she owned behind outside of a change of clothes, to reconnect with herself on a spiritual journey with unknowns around every corner helping guide her back on the path she was meant to be on from the start. Love in Cancun, a heartfelt documentation from a middle aged, single woman’s perspective reveals the challenges of having to face the constant emotional struggles that one who feels as if life had passed her by had felt. She deals with them in a way that few outside of her shoes could understand, and finds herself in an entirely new setting than she had expected.

Love in Cancun Tours and RELEASE Events
Love in Cancun isn’t just a book, its an “experience” built to inspire readers to fully RELEASE their purpose driven life no matter what! This is why I have been touring the book, meeting my tribe to share behind the scenes scoops, gists and most importantly have conversations about ideas that work even after the last page of the book has been read.
The experience has been phenomenal! We have gone from Maryland USA to Abuja and Lagos, and the feedback has been mind blowing. The takeaway for me after every event has been very simple yet powerful: “We all struggle, and we are all in this pursuit of happiness together, so we must be kind to one another, and we have to learn to share survival stories to make the journeys easier for members of our tribe.”
Maryland on April 17th 2016 was the first event. I was nervous and unsure whether anyone would show up, but they did and they gave me wings to fly! Maryland changed my feeling about this book and tours. It became more than opportunities to meet my tribe, it became an experience! Photos are available here: Maryland 1, Maryland 2, Maryland 3.
Next major stop on the tour bus was Abuja on July 9th 2016. Now this was a new terrain for me, we had a great turn out in Maryland but even if I wanted to force everyone I knew in Abuja to come out, all I would have were perhaps 20 people, so I was nervous. But I decided to practice what I preach in my own RELEASE program by asking big and boldly, and it happened! Abuja was one word – PHENOMENAL! And it gave me wings to fly to Lagos. Photos from the Abuja experience are available here.
When the Nigerian Hiphop artiste #BankyW sang “Aint no party like a Lagos, he was telling the whole truth. There is no town that celebrates anything like Lagos! Which is why I knew we couldn’t have one event wasn’t going to be enough, even two wouldn’t work so we did three! And honestly couldn’t have prayed or wished for a better experience to wrap up this first phase in Nigeria. Lagos photos are available here: Lagos 1, Lagos 2 and more photos will be uploaded on Facebook.
What’s Next?
Yes we have had awesome experiences in Maryland, Abuja and Lagos, but mission is not over yet, in fact it is just the beginning of something bigger - the RELEASE program: a formula that will teach you how to find, fund and fully unleash your purpose driven life no matter what! It took me 4 years to learn this formula, but my goal is to make sure it doesn’t take you more than 6 months to learn and prove that it works. Life will always throw curve balls, and the waves will never stop until we stop breathing, but with RELEASE, you will learn how to dance in the rain and talk yourself down from a cliff if you are ready to LIVE. If you wish to have a #LoveInCancun experience in your city, host a RELEASE event for your small group at work or elsewhere, or attend my next RELEASE webinar, please send an email to tope@ganiyah.com.
Muchas Gracias!
Any book that kept me on the reading table for two hours is worth reading. Love in Cancun kept me reading, reading and laughing. I laughed my heart out when I read, “Nurah, lower your gaze”. I was relieved that I am not the only one in this struggle to close my curious and wandering eyes from vanities. Love in Cancun is so real that I saw a bit of you in every page I read. I must admit that it is quite creative, devoid of ‘ladyish’ pretence and inspiring. However, you left me wondering what happened to Bibi. I had wanted to see the narration extended by one chapter to know how you fared with him after Cancun. But I concluded that you deliberately hid that in your lady’s bag of little secrets. I pray Bibi becomes the lucky man that was able to afford your price. Keep writing Tope. I want to read more from you. Greet your husband. Tell him your journalist friend said God blessed him with a good wife.

Hello Tope,
Just got Love in cancun now, started reading and couldn’t drop it. Along the way I thought it was me in the book reading about myself. I now see that there is nothing one asks from God that HE doesn’t do even at the least time one expects it. We might be of different religion but I believe we talk to one God who answers us to show the world how awesome HE is. Thank you for sharing your diary. I might not be able to visit the Cancun now but I believe that by reading this book it has opened my eyes and my believe in God has doubled even tripled sef.
Thank you.
God bless you and your family.
From Mrs. O (Abuja):

From Morenikeji:
So I finally got love in cancun yesterday, I could not put it down, In fact I just finished reading it. You blessed me with the book. Got me rethinking and refocussed. I am right where you were before going to Cancun. I think have been there for the past five years and in total denial refusing to face the fact that I have to chart a new path. You have inspired me to chart a new path. May Allah bless you abundantly.
From Adeyemi I:
Just finished reading love in cancun. I pray I find my own ‘nura’ too very soon the way she found ‘bibi’ in Cancun. Tyler Perry needs to make a movie out of the book ‘cos I felt I was watching a movie while I was reading it. The problem will just be the actress that will play the lead role. I have a problem with that, maybe Gabrielle Union sha.
Love in Cancun is a master class novel. Concise and inspiring.
From Amina A.D.:
Your book is so captivating. I couldn’t drop it when I started reading, so much that my daughter has been teasing me because of it. You definitely write well. The book was worth the read, every minute of it. It’s like watching a movie.
From Ruqayyah:
The book was not only fabulously written and inspiring, it was soul lifting and got me in tears at the end it. May ALLAH bless you immensely.
Lots of love
Wishing you the best.
From Kudirat LA:
Inspiring, Captivating, Exciting, Motivating, Gripping, Sincerity – all in one book.
Love in Cancun – a compelling read.
Thumbs up Sis.
As-salaam alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Sister Ganiyah,
Thank you for Love in Cancun. A friend bought it for me (autographed by you) as a gift while I recovered from surgery and I just finished reading it. I appreciated the read. I took the time to write everything going on in my mind in those last pages. In shaa Allah, I pray to share it with you one day when I’m able to get to where I’d like/need to be God-willing. I believe it was sent to me when it was for an important reason. In Shaa Allah we will see that reason come to fruition. May Allah continue to shower his blessings on you. Amin. Jazakallah khayr once again.
Love
Monsurat
Don’t know if I told you my two primary takeaways from the book: (1) always strive to totally experience the present – so whenever we are out and about, I am no longer compelled to take pictures, but instead focus on fully absorbing everything about the moment, also because the camera will never capture the moment the way my senses would; (2) find time to escape from it all… Haven’t gotten there yet, but it’s in the plans. Sometimes it is just not knowing where the phone is and not caring.
Mrs. B
I almost read it all on my way back and saw Cancun from quite an interesting perspective. One in which I believe many people, especially in large cities like London, can relate to…
