Synopsis: Kiki, a promising media student who attends the reputable Whitewell University always keeps her distance from others, preferring not to get too close to anyone, save for her best friend Aminah. Her only outlet is her beloved radio show; Brown Sugar, where she admonishes fellow Blackwellian ladies, the gyaldem, what to avoid in men or the player mandem types.
When a new student called Malakai starts attending the university, a misunderstanding prompts Kiki to declare him the ‘Wasteman of Whitewell’ on her show. Unfortunately for Kiki, they’ve been assigned to collaborate together on their university projects and the proximity is making Kiki question everything she thought she knew about men, relationships and most importantly, herself.
After reading the glowing masterpiece that was Love In Colour, a short story collection and Babalola’s debut, I was struck by the lush prose and deeply emotive voice, so of course I was keen to read her latest release; Honey & Spice.
