The Sun Sets in Singapore
by Kehinde Fadipe
3.5 stars
I love reading about settings I've never visited, and Singapore was an excellent backdrop for this novel! The story was filled with drama, and all of the dramatics were tied to a man named Lani. I felt that the tension between Dara and Lani was the most compelling, and the others were surface-level (Amaka) and a bit odd (Lillian). I was annoyed with each main character throughout the book, yet the final chapters warmed me to their personalities. I wanted to shake Amaka for many of her poor choices, yet she definitely grew on me toward the end. My favorite aspect was the book club - I had read many of the titles discussed and added others to my TBR! The book club discussions were enthralling. Overall, this was an interesting and worthwhile read, though the many characters were a bit tough to keep track of.
