July '22 Pick
Honey & Spice
Bolu Babalola
Sweet like plantain, hot like pepper. They taste the best when together... Sharp-tongued (and secretly soft-hearted) Kiki Banjo has just made a huge mistake. An expert in relationship-evasion and the host...
From Our Book Lover-In-Chief
I got so caught up in this romance, as Kiki and Malakai go from enemies to friends to lovers.
Our July book pick is Honey & Spice by Bolu Babalola, and it is spiiiicy. It’s all about a young British black woman named Kiki with a ton of ambition. She wants to land an internship in NYC, but she needs to grow the audience for her radio show and work with another student on a film. This other student is Malakai…and we all know where this is going. I got so caught up in this romance, as Kiki and Malakai go from enemies to friends to lovers. It even reminded me of some hilarious dating stories from my early twenties. Tell me your funny dating stories in the comments (I’d love to hear them! ) and follow along with us at @ReesesBookClub all month to discuss this story.


FROM THE AUTHOR
Bolu Babalola
Bolu Babalola is a British-Nigerian woman with a misleading bachelor's degree in law and a masters degree in American Politics & History from UCL. She feels it is important to state that her thesis was on Beyoncé's "Lemonade" and she was awarded a distinction for it. So essentially she has a masters degree in Beyoncé. A writer of books, scripts, culture pieces and retorts, a lover of love and self-coined "romcomoisseur", Bolu Babalola writes stories of dynamic women with distinct voices who love and are loved audaciously. She is a big believer in women being both "Beauty and the beast". She is not a fan of writing her own bios.
