Wahala by Nikki May

Only show reviews with written explanations

I enjoyed this book and read it whenever I had a spare moment. It’s not perfect, there are some crazy and convenient coincidences that weren’t always necessary but I liked it. Ronke was my favourite character, the others took turns in irritating me but I’m fairly certain they were supposed to be irritating. I would recommend this book if you are looking for a quick read and don’t expect it to be completely believable.

I don't know if I've been so angry after finishing a book. It hurts me that it had so much potential but the story sucked so bad. The only character that you can develop some sympathy is Ronke.

The ending went like a fantasy Nollywood movie cause..what is that? The way that the troublemaker went away so easily. And the girls, those grown women were so stupid that they didn't see the game Isobel was playing. There is a lot to say but a lot of people talked about it already in the 1 or 2 stars.

Most of the book wasn't really a thriller, prolly contemporary. But I still enjoyed it. Maybe a bit too much cause I am Nigerian so all the cultural references made me feel appreciated
