A review by tdhaswell
Honey & Spice by Bolu Babalola

fast-paced

3.5

Some of the drama felt inorganic and over-exaggerated so I put off finishing it for a while. The ending was really heartfelt but also a bit unrealistic…

Are we really supposed to believe everyone was OK with turning the entire AfroWinter Ball into a Malakai-Kiki love expression? Or that THAT many people really wanted a live Brown Sugar episode? It seemed a bit selfish or, at least, unrealistic.

Despite that, I loved a lot of this book. It was refreshing and insightful.
A similar concept to Dear White People on Netflix.
