The author of the former Waterstones Book of the Year shortlisted Love in Colour delivers a deliciously witty romantic comedy, packed full of memorable characters and relatable humour.
From the Sunday Times bestselling author, Bolu Babalola, comes the romantic comedy we've all be waiting for.
The sharp-tongued (and secretly soft-hearted) Kiki Banjo is an expert in relationship-evasion, and likes to keep her feelings close to her chest. As the host of the popular student radio show, Brown Sugar, it is her mission to make sure the women who make up the Afro-Caribbean Society at Whitewell University also do not fall into the mess of 'situationships', players and heartbreak.
But when Kiki meets the distressingly handsome and charming newcomer Malakai Korede - who she has publicly denounced as 'The Wasteman of Whitewell' - her defences are weakened and her heart is compromised. A clash embroils them in a fake relationship to salvage both their reputations and save their futures, and soon she finds herself in danger of falling for the very man she warned her girls about.
A funny and sparkling debut, Honey & Spice is full of delicious tension and romantic intrigue that will make you weak at the knees.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Honey & Spice is gorgeously written and heart-meltingly romantic. Kiki and Malakai have a rare, extraordinary, sizzling chemistry which has you rooting for their love story from the very first moment they cross paths. A triumph of a novel. - Beth O'Leary
Honey & Spice is unapologetically romantic and really sexy. I could not have loved it more. - Marian Keyes
Kiki compares her feelings for Malakai as like swallowing a star. That's a bit how I felt after reading this messy but joyful book. - The Times
This is a fast-paced commercial novel with a refreshing take on a well-worn concept. Someone should adapt it for the screen. - The Sunday Times
Sparkling and self-assured... Babalola really captures the heady infatuation of first love. - The i Paper
Charming and funny. - The Observer
Bolu is one of the laugh-out-loud funniest and sharpest of writers working today. I fell in love with Kiki and the whole line-up of loveable characters. It's smart, sexy, energetic and sums up the realness of being attracted to someone you didn't necessarily expect. I'm excited for everyone to read this book. - Emma Gannon
This book had me screaming from page one! Bolu understands desire better than anyone else and in Honey & Spice it prickles under every word. This book is so addictive it had me reading it even after I'd got off the bus. - Annie Lord
