Ronke, Simi, Boo are inseperable mixed-race friends living in London. They have the gift of two cultures, Nigerian and English, though they don't all choose to see it that way

This was a brilliant read, with some fantastic characterizations.
Hate is a strong word, but honestly, in this case, there really is no other word to describe my feelings towards Isobel. I suppose it says a lot about how well the characters were written that I had such strong feelings towards them. Boo was another character that I couldn't stand.
Ronke was definitely my favourite. Simi wasn't bad either.
I loved the flavour of Nigeria that we got throughout the book! I've said this before but I'll happily say it again, I love it when, as a reader we get an insight into cultures/countries not familiar to you. I thought it was really well done in this book.
My only disappointment was the ending. Unfortunately, I can't say any more about that without giving away spoilers!
Thank you to PH and Nikki May for the chance to read this book.
Didn't really enjoy. Some pervasive problematic views. Some characters completely unlikeable. The only interesting part was towards the end, and then the ending was unsatisfying. It felt rushed.
Essentially it's not for me. But maybe others may like it.

It was kind of a slow start for me as all the characters were extremely unlikeable. The second half went very quickly as I became more engrossed in the web of lies and drama being spun
