‘This has bestseller written all over it. Fast-paced, funny, shocking, unputdownable. Loved it.’
Paula Hawkins, bestselling author of GIRL ON THE TRAIN and SLOW FIRE BURNING

‘I got so immersed in the lives of Simi, Ronke, and Boo, such flawed, lovable women, 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

'Love that sex in the city has finally met moi-moi and plantain with a whole lot of WAHALA thrown in.'
Rosanna Amaka, author of THE BOOK OF ECHOES

‘Loved it! Although I raced through it, I’ll be thinking about it for a long time. So funny and sharp, I completely fell in love with the characters. One to add to your list.’
Laura Marshall, author of FRIEND REQUEST

‘I couldn't get enough of the four women at the heart of Nikki May's utterly winning debut novel, WAHALA. Every evening, I sank into my bubble bath, eager to return to the lives of May's deep and complex characters: Simi, Ronke, Boo, and the fabulous (but maybe evil) Isobel. Their loves and WAHALA ("trouble") brought to mind Sex & the City but felt more modern, more real. When I closed Nikki May's delicious, hilarious novel, I felt I was returning to joy. I knew it was time to call my friends...time to get into some good WAHALA of my own.’ 
Amanda Eyre Ward, New York Times bestselling author of THE JETSETTERS and THE LIFEGUARDS

‘Wow, what a debut! I finished this book by Nikki May at the weekend and was left wanting more – more of Ronke, Boo, and Simi and more of Nikki’s brilliant writing about food and friendship. Warm and fun, I loved watching the more sinister side of the story emerge. Fantastic!’
Sarah Pearse, bestselling author of THE SANATORIUM

‘This is one of those books you want to crawl inside and inhabit. I loved hanging out with Simi, Ronke, and Boo and I miss them already.’
Clare Pooley, bestselling author of THE AUTHENTICITY PROJECT

‘Dazzling and bursting with life. WAHALA is as joyous, complex, and all-encompassing as female friendship itself. I loved it.’
Tammy Cohen, author of THE WEDDING PARTY

‘Brilliant… a funny, tragic, piercing portrait of modern women and friendship, written in glittering and discerning prose.’
Emma Stonex, bestselling author of THE LAMPLIGHTERS

‘Bold, juicy, and real! WAHALA is tense and powerful, it's friendship at its best and its worst, and it's THE book to read next year!’
Lauren North, author of SAFE AT HOME

‘WAHALA hooked me from page one and kept me enthralled till the (TWIST!) end. A riot of colour and noise, friendships, enemies, secrets, lies, and soul food. Written with a lightness of touch. Insightful, clever, and honest. I will read anything and everything Nikki May writes’
Ericka Waller, author of DOG DAYS 

‘If you loved My Sister, The Serial Killer, and Expectation, this is a must-read. My only regret is not being able to read it beside a glittering swimming pool while sipping a cocktail!’
Marianne Cronin, author of THE ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF LENNI AND MARGOT

‘I devoured it, Nikki May’s voice is sharp, precise unapologetic, and modern. In one word – Exquisite!’
Lọlá Ákínmádé Åkerström, author of IN EVERY MIRROR SHE’S BLACK

‘Witty, boldly contemporary, and sharply observed, this book is an illicit peek into the very secret lives of women - their fears and desires, their weaknesses and dreams, their relationships between each other and with a world too often fraught with prejudice and class divides. This is a must-read debut by a brilliant new voice in fiction.’
Nita Prose, author of THE MAID
