Honey & Spice by Bolu Babalola
5.0
emotional funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I love a book where all the actual protagonists are loveable. Honey & Spice gives DRAMA and mess and good food and tunes and romantic friendship and straightening your crown and shutting down shit. Also, Babalola deals very tenderly with the difference between what you think you see and what is actually going down. Everyone is challenged to consider their assumptions and no one is worse off for it.
