The Gray



The Gray

WE SURVIVED, BUT HAVE WE RECOVERED…

The story you are about to experience is inspired by true events; only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. We sat with tens of thousands of couples – some famous, others everyday people who are living with a terrible secret...just like you!

Bestselling author, Enitan Bereola II disrupts the culture with his latest chilling literature for private consumption: THE GRAY: A Relationship Etiquette Study.

The first two books were written to please you. This newest book is written to heal you. It's a sobering study of real relationships and where the hell we went wrong! There's a general sense of dissatisfaction in the world. People are deeply disheartened, disturbed and disgusted in these Divided states of America and beyond. This conversation piece is a piece of art studying the art of relationships through conversation. It's told through the lens of both victim and victor set to explore deep duality about human motive.

THE GRAY debuted #1 Hot New Release in all of its categories and is a Bestseller on Amazon. Complete the Collection todayBuy the Book Today
State of Emergency

To Whom it May Concern:

Have a seat.

Get comfortable.

This is an honest, overdue dialogue between strangers – you and me. I promise to be open and ask that you do the same. There's no judgment. You won't be shamed. This is your safe space. It's just us here.

A good book transforms the writer just as much as the reader. To walk in your shoes I had to borrow your souls. I know how desolate it can be. You showed me. I could feel it in each stride as I ran from the task of publishing your story.

This is my first and only relationship book. It isn't the typical "I love you; you love me" bullsh*t. This certainly isn't your average "how to" guide. This literature sets out to awaken your conscience, inspire intimacy and challenge society. The story is produced to polish perspective. In life, we tidy up a bit to make occasional improvements, but we're rarely forced to do a detailed audit of the most microscopic cracks in our lives that cause the more consequential issues.

Written with intention. Written to make you think. Written to make you feel. Written to make you question. Written to wake you up with the lessons. Written to make you reflect. Written to prove your sanity. Written to reset standards. Written to make you want it all - but only when it's right.

THE GRAY is penned with written sound alongside contributions from Grammy nominated artist, Jidenna and Grammy award-winning artist, Estelle. Every word is composed to protect your magic and center your spirit without compromising your light.

THE GRAY contains 250 carefully curated pages designed to disrupt everything! It's my most beautiful, ugly, disgraceful, tragic, raw and gorgeous piece of art to date. Please purchase your copy today and watch what happens next.
