Honey & Spice
by Bolu Babalola
I took a break from reading for a while due to my Mental Health and general lack of will or energy to read or write anything, but this was the perfect book to get me back into the swing of things.
Honey & Spice is the most Black British thing ive read in a very long time and it was amazing to read my experiences and have them leap of the page in such an engaging way.
Technically, they leapt out of the speakers as I listened to this book and the narrator did such an excellent job of the different characters and the African accents and idiosyncrasies of Black youth culture, that i was immersed the entire way through.
I can see where the dialogue might get lost on those not apart of the culture, but if you're able to listen or read past that, then H&S is a really funny, smart and sweet book about relationships, popularity and everything that happens in ones young life.
Delayed, but H&S is about a girl called Kiki who distances herself from the politics of uni relationships but instead talks about them on her radio show Brown Sugar. This gets her into a mishap that forces her into a fake relationship with new boy Malachi and of course, sparks fly.
Admittedly this book is very dialogue heavy which i found off putting at times and the end felt dragged out a bit but other than that, it was such a fun treat to get me back into reading.
I loved this from front to back and implore everyone to try it for the laughs and realness all the way through.
