I am obsessed with this book. Kiki who is confident and knows her worth. Sexy and she knows it. Doesn’t have time for no fuckboi.

The way I loved this book. It was actually a perfect read for Mexico: it’s sticky and hot. The tension is off the charts. Laugh out loud funny with perfect banter. Complex and deep. When I finished a deep sigh of enjoyment was released. Bolu created such beautiful, vulnerable, relevant characters in Kiki, Malakai, Aminah, Kofi, and my girl Simi.

Honey & Spice is a must read. And now that I know there is a sequel (second chance with Kiki and Malakai I 💀💀💀), I’m ready to be back in that world next year.

This got off to a slow start for me and I considered giving up but I'm glad I stuck with it because I ended up really enjoying it. Even though it took me 150 pages to be fully invested, after that I really liked following Kiki and Malakai and their relationship. A lot of the plot focuses on popularity and cliques within their university, which felt a little more like high school to me, but that didn't mean I didn't believe the characters' experience. I enjoyed Babalola's writing when I read Love In Colour a few years ago and was pleased to find I liked it just as much here.
