Sharp-tongued (and secretly soft-hearted) Kiki Banjo has just made a huge mistake. As an expert in relationship-evasion and the host of the popular student radio show Brown Sugar, she’s made it her mission to make sure the women of the African-Caribbean Society at Whitewell University do not fall into the mess of “situationships”, players, and heartbreak. But when the Queen of the Unbothered kisses Malakai Korede, the guy she just publicly denounced as “The Wastemen of Whitewell,” in front of every Blackwellian on campus, she finds her show on the brink.

A high-born Nigerian goddess, who has been beaten down and unappreciated by her gregarious lover, longs to be truly seen. A young businesswoman attempts a great leap in her company, and an even greater one in her love life. A powerful Ghanaian spokeswoman is forced to decide whether she should uphold her family’s politics or be true to her heart. In her debut collection, internationally acclaimed writer Bolu Babalola retells the most beautiful love stories from history and mythology with incredible new detail and vivacity.

Kiki Banjo sabe tudo sobre a vida do campus da Faculdade Paço do Rio Branco. Ela sabe quando certo dormitório tem mais chances de estar vazio—caso você queira se esgueirar para um encontro secreto—quando há uma mudança de hierarquia em determinada panelinha e, acima de tudo, sabe quando um cara não está tão a fim de você e o que fazer para evitar cair no jogo dele. Ela usa essa sabedoria em seu programa de rádio, em que ajuda as universitárias a desenvolver, entre outras coisas, conhecimentos em boylixologia.
