NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2022 BY Vogue * Marie Claire * Glamour * Essence * Oprah Daily * Entertainment Weekly * Bustle * PopSugar * CrimeReads * and more!
An incisive and exhilarating debut novel following three Anglo-Nigerian best friends and the lethally glamorous fourth woman who infiltrates their groupâthe most unforgettable girls since Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha.
Ronke wants happily ever after and 2.2. kids. Sheâs dating Kayode and wants him to be âthe oneâ (perfect, like her dead father). Her friends think heâs just another in a long line of dodgy Nigerian boyfriends.
Boo has everything Ronke wantsâa kind husband, gorgeous child. But sheâs frustrated, unfulfilled, plagued by guilt, and desperate to remember who she used to be.
Simi is the golden one with the perfect lifestyle. No one knows sheâs crippled by impostor syndrome and tempted to pack it all in each time her boss mentions her âurban vibe.â Her husband thinks theyâre trying for a baby. Sheâs not.
When the high-flying, charismatic Isobel explodes into the group, it seems at first sheâs bringing out the best in each woman. (She gets Simi an interview in Shanghai! Goes jogging with Boo!) But the more Isobel intervenes, the more chaos she sows, and Ronke, Simi, and Booâs close friendship begins to crack.
A sharp, modern take on friendship, ambition, culture, and betrayal, Wahala (trouble) is an unforgettable novel from a brilliant new voice.
