Overall liked this book. It was interesting to have african/black characters against an Asian background (Singapore). I felt like the relationship between Singapore and the characters was not explored. I also did not enjoy one line she had. It was about the japanese clients that lawyer had and described them as "tittering like geshias". It was racist and would be like me calling a group of african/black people "tittering like mammys."

What a wonderful story that really digs into the interconnectedness of women across the globe.
Following Dara, Amaka, and Lillian, we see how three women who seem to have immensely different backgrounds but all find themselves in Singapore for varying reasons come to know each other, fall apart completely, and repair their friendships and their lives.
An excellent reminder that everything is fixable if we step up and do the work.

A group of ladies brought together by a bookclub in Singapore, and how their stories entwine with one another. I found it an excellent read, the pace was perfect and it was a mix between funny, with their internal narratives amusing me a lot, and poignant discussing the realities of corporate life for black women
