Happy Monday bookworms! Today I'm reviewing Honey and Spice by Bolu Babalola! Thank you to HarperCollins Canada for sending me an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review. This book comes out July 5th! content warnings
Depression, black mailing, sexual harassment Kiki Banjo is a student at Whitewell University where she runs the popular radio show, Brown Sugar, where she gives relationship advice to her fellow students. But things get out of hand when she kisses Malakai Korede, they guy that she just publicly denounced on her show. To save their reputations, Kiki and Malakai start a fake relationship. But as they get to know each other more, will Kiki's feelings become real?
I had a fun time reading this book! As you guys know, fake dating is one of my favourite tropes so I knew I had to read Honey and Spice. Kiki was definitely my favourite character. She is super hardworking, and determined to achieve her goals. She's also a bookworm which I loved. Her radio show was really interesting to learn about, I wish it was real so that I could actually listen to it! The writing style made for a quick and easy read, and kept the plot flowing smoothly. Speaking of the plot, I was directly invested in it the whole time. I just had to know what was going to happen next with Kiki and Malakai. I also enjoyed that romance was not the only focus in this book, but that we also got to see each of the characters grow on their own. The romance felt realistic and I appreciated that they both had to work on aspects of their relationship. Overall it was just so cute! I gave this book 4/5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. That's a wrap on my review of Honey and Spice by Bolu Babalola! I hope you enjoyed it! Look around you, what's the name of the closest book? Let me know in the comments below!
