The casual writing style seemed fairly simple but had a fun, creative flare that brought the cosy small-town setting and storyline to life. I also loved the banter and wit infused into the conversations, as these regularly made me smile and laugh.

The simple writing effortlessly creates a fun, easy read, and I found the alternating points of view (POV) very satisfying. However, much of the story is told instead of shown, making it less gripping.

HONEY & SPICE by Bolu Babalola

The lush writing style flows beautifully with rich analogies and witty humour. I especially loved the Afro-Caribbean and pop culture references, which made the narrative engaging and fun. Besides this, natural, well-written dialogues help propel the storyline forward and define the characters.
