A REESE'S BOOK CLUB AND TIKTOK BOOK CLUB PICK

'Hilarious, hot and heartfelt' MEG CABOT

'Gorgeously written and heart-meltingly romantic' BETH O'LEARY

'Romantic, sexy, fun, delicious and important' MARIAN KEYES

Sisters, beware the 'Wasteman of Whitewell' . . .

As host of the radio show Brown Sugar, Kiki Banjo's mission is to protect her listeners from heartbreak. Which puts Whitewell College's newest student, handsome 'player' Malakai Korede, at the top of her hitlist.

But when Kiki's dream summer internship in New York depends on finding a fresh angle for her radio show, she must make an unlikely bargain with Malakai himself - to put their simmering clashes aside to form a fake relationship, something sweet and spicy enough to win over the whole campus.

However, close proximity to the notorious heartbreaker brings everything Kiki thought she knew about her own heart into question. Why does throwing out her stringent romantic rulebook suddenly seem so tempting?

Will she find it in her to resist?

A fresh, utterly addictive rom-com from Sunday Times bestselling author Bolu Babalola, Honey & Spice is full of delicious tension and romantic intrigue that will make you weak at the knees.
