Synopsis
An incisive and exhilarating debut novel of female friendship following three Anglo-Nigerian best friends and the lethally glamorous fourth woman who infiltrates their group—the most unforgettable girls since Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda. Ronke wants happily ever after and 2.2. kids. She’s dating Kayode and wants him to be “the one” (perfect, like her dead father). Her friends think he’s just another in a long line of dodgy Nigerian boyfriends. Boo has everything Ronke wants—a kind husband, gorgeous child. But she’s frustrated, unfulfilled, plagued by guilt, and desperate to remember who she used to be. Simi is the golden one with the perfect lifestyle. No one knows she’s crippled by impostor syndrome and tempted to pack it all in each time her boss mentions her “urban vibe.” Her husband thinks they’re trying for a baby. She’s not. When the high-flying, charismatic Isobel explodes into the group, it seems at first she’s bringing out the best in each woman. (She gets Simi an interview in Hong Kong! Goes jogging with Boo!) But the more Isobel intervenes, the more chaos she sows, and Ronke, Simi, and Boo’s close friendship begins to crack. A sharp, modern take on friendship, ambition, culture, and betrayal, Wahala (trouble) is an unforgettable novel from a brilliant new voice.
My Review
This was a brilliant book with lots of amazing twists and turns. I thought this book was very interesting and rather funny. I just knew from the start that I was going to love it. As the writing style was really good and it flowed brilliantly with a humorous style. I really do like a book that I can have a laugh with as it puts you in a great mood. I really loved the characters as they all had different personalities but together they worked so well. The character that stood out for me was Isobel I thought the author did such a brilliant job at creating this very complex character. This book really was a great page turner. For a debut novel this one really packed a punch and is definitely one to add to your watch list. I also found out that its to become a TV series so I can't wait for that. What stood out for me was the progression of the characters drawing me into the book and really making me read between the lines. The amazing story line was so unique and very exciting. I must say I loved the suspense, tension and atmosphere at the end of the book. Wow the ending may blow your mind. I really went through an emotional roller coaster reading this book. I really do recommend this book. So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for really creating such a fantastic gripping and exciting story that you won't be able to put down.
