I LOVED this book!! From the tone of voice to the topics and themes explored. The characters are beautifully flawed and loveable. I love the wit and moderate heat. The eloquent and lyrical writing, story and setting are amazing. The narrator was absolutely phenomenal and really made the story come alive! It's a 5.75/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for me. This is the best book I 've read in a while. Definitely adding to my collection.

I loved this book and enjoyed reading it. Babalola really brings you into the world of the Blackwellians (the unofficial name for the Black student population at the Whitewell University in England).
Kiki is a fantastic protagonist, from her witty remarks and insight into life on the campus to the growth her character undergoes once she loosens control, you’re rooting for her the whole way.
