Ovie Soko is writing a book

He may not have found lasting love with India Reynolds on last summer’s series of Love Island, but 29-year-old basketball player Ovie Soko placed himself firmly in the nation’s hearts with his brilliant sense of humour, kind personality and, erm, the fact that he’s absolutely drop-dead gorgeous.

Now, Ovie has revealed that he’s working on a brand new adventure – as he’s currently in the process of writing his own book! Titled ‘You Are Dope’, Ovie’s book is all about self-love in the age of social media and is set to be published by Quadrille Books in October this year.

Revealing the news on Instagram, Ovie said:

I wrote this book because I see how difficult loving yourself is in this Social Media Era. It’s not easy being a young man and it can’t be easy for the ladies. We scroll through the gram and life everyday and what we DONT have is always pushed in our face. I wrote this book for you. To remind you what you do have. And I PROMISE you, when you realise what you DO have, and how dope you really are, everything else won’t seem to matter so much. 🤘❤️

It sounds like this is going to be a must-read – especially in these difficult times. Whilst the book unfortunately still won’t be out for a few months yet, it’s already available for pre-order on Amazon for £12.99 – that way you’re sure to be the first to get your hands on it when it comes out on October 1st!

Ovie isn’t the first former Love Islander to have their own book published. Series 4 winner Dani Dyer penned her own guide to life in 2019 – entitled ‘What Would Dani Do?’ whilst ever-popular series 3 star Chris Hughes wrote an autobiography entitled ‘You Bantering Me?’ back in 2018.
