This young and vibing novel is a summery, feel-good celebration of Blackness, Africanness and love. Babalola's writing exudes rich, flavoursome romance. I was so obsessed with her tasteful descriptions and the current feel of the story that I didn't mind having what felt like a plethora of archetypal romance clichés being thrown at me right until the end. As a reader that prefers more hard-hitting, grittier novels, I was impressed by the way Babalola wielded these otherwise textbook tropes and made me believe it.
