✨ Book Club Spotlight: Honey & Spice by Bolu Babalola ✨

Kiki Banjo is the sharp-tongued voice of her campus radio show, known for protecting women from heartbreak and calling out the “players” of Blackwell University. Her world, however, takes an unexpected turn when a slip on air ties her fate to Malakai Korede—the very man she warned everyone about.

What follows is a witty, heartfelt story of community, identity, and love that sneaks up when you least expect it. Honey & Spice blends humor with depth, exploring what it means to protect yourself, to open up, and to allow vulnerability to be a kind of strength.

It’s smart, warm, and layered—perfect for readers who enjoy romance that’s as much about self-discovery as it is about love.

💬 For discussion: Is love sweeter when it challenges our rules, or when it affirms them?
