Though the book is set in Lagos and London, it's a reality most of us can relate to from anywhere in Africa. There is something in there, an experience or anything for everybody.

The main character is as fucked up as you'd ever expect your most hated book antagonist to be. Only this time, he's not an antagonist. He's the main character.
Hi, So monster romance is all the rage right now in the romance world, and this unicorn had to get in on some action. I mean, who cares about regular human peens....we need some monster vitamin D up in this house. I mean, they provide more nutrients for everyone *wink, wink*. The book I will […]
Clark is a new-to-me author, and I was impressed by his well-considered, multi-dimensional approach in creating the female characters. They are smart, opinionated, powerful yet self-aware, and in touch with every aspect of their femininity.
This book centers around three friends, Simi, Boo, and Ronke, who have had a good relationship going until the arrival of Isobelle (Simi's childhood friend), who capitalizes on each woman's insecurities and secrets...
It is important that we keep history alive, to not forget. So although slavery is not an easy subject to discuss, I'm glad this book exists. You should read it if you haven't,
The bloodthirsty deviousness and callousness that came to Rikke and Leo ( I spare no sympathy for him anyway), the kindness that would sometimes peek through Savine's hard veneer - it was just too much for my poor heart to handle.
The parts that stuck out the most for me were the war depictions. Abercrombie writes them so well I felt I was at the front lines - the racing thoughts in the heads of the soldiers as they rush headlong to certain death - it was very detailed and a tad personal.
A collection of short love stories, Love in Colour is what I like to call a genuine reading experience. The book is split into two parts; old and new tales, with the old tales being retellings of age-old myths and romances, and the new ones being Babalola's own creations.
Can a female character really be a heroine if life hasn't fucked her sideways (often in the form of sexual abuse) to shape her up?
Unfortunately for Kemi, her worst fears were confirmed. She was only a redundant body in a ceremonial role. Jonny poached Kemi for her skin color to represent diversity in a predominantly white company. It wasn't for her brilliance; neither was it for her experience. It was for her skin color.
The book hits over and over with great character moments, stellar world building, and plot moments that had me enraptured. I expect Greene's work in the series to only get bigger and better
