'This has bestseller written all over it. Fast-paced funny shocking unputdownable. I loved
it' PAULA HAWKINS author of The Girl on the Train 'I just raced through Wahala. Nikki May
writes so well about friendship food fashion and the many ways modern women can stumble in
their careers and personal lives' CLARE CHAMBERS author of Small Pleasures ______________
Ronke Simi and Boo are inseparable mixed-race friends living in London. They have the gift of
two cultures Nigerian and English though not all of them choose to see it that way. Everyday
racism has never held them back but now in their thirties they question their future. Ronke
wants a husband (he must be Nigerian) Boo enjoys (correction: endures) stay-at-home motherhood
while Simi full of fashion career dreams rolls her eyes as her boss refers to her urban vibe
yet again. When Isobel a lethally glamorous friend from their past arrives in town she is
determined to fix their futures for them. Cracks in their friendship begin to appear and it is
soon obvious Isobel is not sorting but wrecking. When she is driven to a terrible act the
women are forced to reckon with a crime in their past that may just have repeated itself. A
darkly comic and bitingly subversive take on love race and family Wahala will have you
laughing crying and gasping in horror. Boldly political about class colorism and clothes
here is a truly inclusive tale that will speak to anyone who has ever cherished friendship in
all its forms.
