We follow 3 women (Ronke, Simi, and Boo) as they navigate their friendship and their relationships with their spouses/partners until in comes a new member of the group— Isobel. Isobel wants to be a part of the friend group but then tries to get to know all 3 women individually and that’s when the real drama begins.
I think Nikki navigated these friendships so well and showed the complexities of real life in a believable way through multiple perspectives. I loved seeing the cultures represented in this book! Nigerian, British, French, American… you have it all! It was a fast paced and jam packed novel with twists and turns at every corner. Nikki gave us crumbs in each chapter that helped you form the entire picture by the end of the book when she brought everything together (and completely blew my mind lol). I have to say, I did not expect the ending we got in any way!!! I was so thrown off!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book & cannot wait to continue to discuss it with my book club!
