Introducing internationally bestselling author Bolu Babalola's dazzling debut novel, full of passion, humor, and heart, centered on a young Black British woman who unexpectedly finds herself in a fake relationship with the man she warned her friends about. Sharp-tongued Kiki Banjo, an expert in relationship-evasion and host of the popular student radio show Brown Sugar, has made it her mission to protect the women of the African-Caribbean Society at Whitewell University from "situationships" and heartbreak. However, after a public kiss with Malakai Korede, the very guy she denounced as "The Wastemen of Whitewell," Kiki's reputation is at stake. To salvage their images, they enter into a fake relationship, but Kiki has never let anyone in before, and a player like Malakai won't change that, despite their undeniable chemistry. As they share surprisingly entertaining study sessions and intimate late-night talks, Kiki begins to question her own assumptions about love. Is she ready to embrace something deeper? This gloriously funny and sparkling debut novel brims with delicious tension and romantic intrigue that will leave readers weak at the knees.
