""Contemporary female friendship goes glam in this lively debut novel with remarkable depth."" -- Washington Post
""Great fun and extremely smart."" -- npr.org
NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2022 BY Vogue * Marie Claire * Glamour * Essence * Oprah Daily * Entertainment Weekly * Bustle * PopSugar * CrimeReads * and more!
An incisive and exhilarating debut novel following three Anglo-Nigerian best friends and the lethally glamorous fourth woman who infiltrates their group—the most unforgettable girls since Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha.
Ronke wants happily ever after and 2.2. kids. She’s dating Kayode and wants him to be “the one” (perfect, like her dead father). Her friends think he’s just another in a long line of dodgy Nigerian boyfriends.
Boo has everything Ronke wants—a kind husband, gorgeous child. But she’s frustrated, unfulfilled, plagued by guilt, and desperate to remember who she used to be.
Simi is the golden one with the perfect lifestyle. No one knows she’s crippled by impostor syndrome and tempted to pack it all in each time her boss mentions her “urban vibe.” Her husband thinks they’re trying for a baby. She’s not.
When the high-flying, charismatic Isobel explodes into the group, it seems at first she’s bringing out the best in each woman. (She gets Simi an interview in Shanghai! Goes jogging with Boo!) But the more Isobel intervenes, the more chaos she sows, and Ronke, Simi, and Boo’s close friendship begins to crack.
A sharp, modern take on friendship, ambition, culture, and betrayal, Wahala (trouble) is an unforgettable novel from a brilliant new voice.

DoordachtVermakelijkHartverwarmendWahala is an entertaining novel about how true love and friendship in the end always wins. Sometimes you have to overcome a lot of hurdles though... Cleverly written in a way that you as the reader always have more information than the main characters, whom can't complete the puzzle until the end. At times a bit predictable and long-winded, but this is made up for by a nice plot twist and developing characters. And in a way the long-windedness is needed to carry the story until it's end. Very nice debut and I am excited to read more!Also really pleasantly read by Natalie, nice timbre, pace and pronunciation.
