Perfect for you if...

  • You love witty banter and chemistry that crackles on the page, especially when it's between two people who absolutely shouldn't work.
  • You want to read about Black British characters navigating university life, friendship, and love with humour and depth.
  • You're after a romance that's funny without being fluff, grounded in real emotional stakes beyond just the attraction.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer slow-burn romance where the leads stay at arm's length for most of the book.
  • You're looking for a book with minimal humour or one that takes itself very seriously throughout.
  • You don't connect with stories centred on university settings or contemporary British culture.

About this book

Kiki Banjo, a sharp-tongued host of the student radio show Brown Sugar at Whitewell University, has built her reputation on helping women of the African-Caribbean Society avoid romantic entanglements and players. After publicly kissing Malakai Korede—a man she had just denounced on air—in front of the entire campus, both their reputations are threatened. To salvage their futures, Kiki and Malakai enter into a fake relationship. Kiki, who has never opened her heart before, is determined not to let a charming player change that, despite their undeniable chemistry. However, study sessions and late-night conversations at diners gradually push her to reconsider her assumptions about him and about love itself. This debut novel combines humor, romance, and tension as Kiki navigates whether she is ready to surrender her carefully guarded heart.
