2.5 Stars

This was a cute read. It was straightforward, simple and laced with humour throughout. Some negative points for me were the really detailed sex scenes and the lack of depth in a lot of the short stories. I would say the title is probably better than the actual book, and I would have enjoyed it more if the stories were a little more developed.

I would still recommend others to read it. It's original and I like the concept a lot. It's also great to read things that are set in less typical settings - I liked how hardly any of this is based outside of Lagos as sometimes these types of books end up being about people from xyz but moved to America which is way too familiar of a story line. I would read more of what the author has in the future.

an excellent collection of short stories!! all with their own personal voice each one as salacious and shocking as the last. as a woman from lagos myself, the stories, no matter how outrageous they may seem, all rang true. an excellent insight into the varied behaviour of lagos men
