I don’t what to say about this book other than it made my blood pressure go up and kept me very invested in the characters. It is the kind of story where you don’t know who to root for and who to hate. Each person is so flawed but in a very human way

Wonderful to experience the stories of Black expat women living in Singapore without it centering the Black American experience. I feel closer to my diaspora cousins and have more insight into their culture driven experiences.

English review: In such a tremendous heat is a brilliant adult fiction that follows the life and friendship of Dara, Amaka and Lillian. The book is based in Singapore the POVs are between the ladies that narrate the story. It does for a very slow start and got a mature complex female characters that we as readers always appreaciate for me was like a very good “ chic lit ”book so I truly enjoy it and it worth the reading completely. Solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks to @dialoguebooks and @netgalley for the ARC to this book. Publication day is coming fast this 06 of July. Reseña en español: Este libro es un maravilloso ejemplo de ficción para adultos que sigue la vida y la amistad de Dara, Amaka y Lillian. El libro se basa en Singapur, los puntos de vista son entre las chicas que narran la historia. Tiene un comienzo muy lento y tiene personajes femeninos maduros y complejos que nosotros, como lectores, siempre apreciamos. Para mí, fue como un muy buen libro "chic lit", así que realmente lo disfrute y vale la pena leerlo por completo. Sólido ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gracias a @dialoguebooks y @netgalley por el ARC de este libro. El día de la publicación se acerca rápidamente este 06 de julio. #insuchatremendusheat #netgalley #kehindefadipe

DID NOT FINISH: 4%

Very lawyer jargon-y so I was confused from the start. Also felt like there just wasn't a solid plot and couldn't get into it.

I found Lilians parts underwhelming. Overall an interesting read, it reminded me of wahala.
