When a new male character enters their circle, it disrupts the balance entirely. Most importantly, the novel emphasizes that no matter where you go, you can never truly escape your past—it follows you.
Ms. Fadipe’s writing is beautifully crafted, bringing the physical surroundings to life with rich, vivid descriptions. She expertly weaves together the stories of three deeply complex women, making the reader feel every layer of their emotions—sometimes raw, sometimes erratic, but always deeply human. The tension in the story builds gradually, leading to an unexpected climax and a satisfying resolution.
Kehinde Fadipe is a fantastic storyteller, and I cannot wait to see what she writes next. I’m grateful to Grand Central Publishing, and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced digital copy of The Sun Sets in Singapore.
