The writer has now apologized after speaking to Nora Roberts who assured that wasn’t the case. Adeyemi has now accepted the titles were only a coincidence and wasn’t planned.
She took to twitter to apologize and wrote:
update: Nora was kind enough to reach out & explain that today was the first she’d heard of my book. After talking to her, I believe our titles were created in isolation.
I’m grateful she explained & I’ve apologized, but I wanted to address it here as I know others were upset too
