__________

Kiki Banjo is an expert in relationship-evasion.

In fact, she has made it her mission to protect the women of Whitewell University from the dangers of players and heartbreak, supplying advice, tips and essentials to paying men no mind on her student radio show, Brown Sugar.

And then Kiki meets distressingly handsome newcomer Malakai Korede, who threatens to tear apart the community of women she's fought so hard to protect.

Kiki publicly declares Malakai the 'Wasteman of Whitewell' on Brown Sugar and brings a stop to her girls chasing his attentions. But when she and Malakai suddenly find themselves shackled into a fake relationship to salvage their respective reputations and save their academic futures, she is in danger of falling for the very wasteman she warned her sisters about.

With her heart compromised and defences weakened, Kiki has to learn to open herself up to the perils of love... and face up to a past that forced her to close down in the first place.

A funny and sparkling debut, Honey & Spice is full of delicious tension and romantic intrigue that will make you weak at the knees.

Loved it

I listen whilst I draw and found myself staying up later than I should because I was enjoying the story so much. Felt like all the best Rom Coms. Really loved the characters and the narration by Weruche Opia was great. Will look up other books she has narrated as well as more Bolu Babalola books now!

Good story but

In some parts was more teen fiction than young adult. The authors voice is strong some of the character conflict lacks authentic maturity.

Best audiobook I've listened to

Loved it! I think the reason I enjoyed it so much was because of the amazing narrator. Also an interesting story.

Great way to come up to speed with colloquilsims. Modern love story.

Loved the banter. Gives an insight into the life of strong, happy to be outsider and the dynamics within the African student community on campus.

Excellent

Great storytelling. Well constructed characters and an Austin-like tangle of love, social status and influence.
