The Sun Sets in Singapore
by Kehinde Fadipe
Thanks to Grand Central for the gifted ARC & Libro.fm for the ALC
Following three Black expats in Singapore, Dara, Amaka, and Lillian's lives are inextricably intertwined when a charming yet mysterious British Nigerian lawyer enters the scene, threatening to steal Dara's long-awaited promotion to partnership, upending Amaka's relationship seemingly perfect relationship, and triggering painful memories from Lillian's past.
@busyblackbookworm has a more in-depth and critical review that everyone should read. From a non-own voice reader's perspective, I appreciate that SUN explores the Black-Asian dynamics in the workplace and romantic relationships. I also had fun reading about messy friendships and chaotic sisterhoods; Fadipex points out the difficulty of making friends as adults/professional women.
SUN covers a lot of topics—PTSD, microaggression, infertility, etc, and not every aspect is fully explored. Nonetheless, it's a light-hearted read that showcases Fadipex's craft, and I'd be interested in reading her future books
