About this listen
"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.

Capturing!
I was surprisingly caught up in these characters' lives. Everything unfolded in such a believable way that I felt genuinly concerned and intrigued. Now that the book is over, I miss them as if they were my friends. I also found all the accents to be authentic. Worth the listen!

The narrator MADE this story!
I was just amazed at the narrators ability to capture all the different characters' personalities, accents and all! She made the story come to life.
The ending was unexpected and truly went the way of a Nollywood film--here was so much drama! Overall, it was enjoyable, a wonderful escape.

The best narrator by far
It was like listening to a radio play with multiple actors. Her accent switching was astonishing, and incredibly authentic. Wanted the story to go on forever.

Was great…until that ending
Started to get into the story but was utterly irritated by the latter chapters. That ending left me so dissatisfied :(
