I couldn’t put it down ! There was so much going on, I enjoyed all the drama. I just hate that there was a death and that ending could’ve been better :/

Bored but entertained.
Bored in the sense that I wasn't blown away but entertained nevertheless.
We follow the lives of the Jiya's, Manamela's and the Msibi's. The book opens up with a hint that a death has occurred..but which female has died?
The book reads as fast as any gossip blog would. You're glued to the pages because it's juicy at a sub par level but you want to stick around and see what happens next.
The storylines aren't that strong, you're basically coming in to see how the rich in SA live and the trials and tribulations that come with such lives. Having money doesn't make you immune to life's jokes nor does it absolve you of your sins.
I found Paul and Tom to be included in the story just to add the gay aesthetic without any real storyline. Non existent actually.
Also, why are the Zimbabweans in the story the bad guys/could be bad guys? Are we highlighting the stereotypes and hypocrisy of SA or feeding it?
The women in this book are power houses. Everyone is pulling their weight.
My favorite character was Lerato - tragic. I loved her new found "adventure" after finding out her husbands recent revelation was the reason for her 1 year of unsolicited "celibacy".
The Duke learned that every dog has its day. Mzwandile is such a hypocrite and Solomzi is lucky Moshidi is so forgiving.
Paul and Tom..I can't even add a little note because they were unnecessary.
In conclusion guys, grab the book if you want a marriage type drama - fast read - entertainment.
*The 30th Candle is still my fav of Angela Makholwa's books.

A page turner. One where there isn't a dull moment. Hence a 5 star rating.
