"Wahala" by Nikki May is a contemporary novel that centers on the friendship of three Anglo-Nigerian women—Ronke, Boo, and Simi—who have been close since university. Living in London, they navigate the complexities of their careers, relationships, and cultural identities. Ronke is a dentist longing for marriage, Boo is balancing motherhood and a desire for personal fulfillment, and Simi is a fashion marketer struggling with impostor syndrome and pressures about starting a family.
Their friendship begins to unravel when Isobel, a wealthy and glamorous childhood friend of Simi's, re-enters their lives. At first, Isobel appears to bring excitement and support, but her presence soon sows discord, exposing secrets, jealousy, and tensions among the friends. The novel explores themes of friendship, betrayal, identity, and the pressures faced by modern women balancing cultural expectations and personal ambitions.
Critically acclaimed for its sharp, addictive storytelling and nuanced character studies, Wahala delves into the darker sides of female friendship and the challenges of maintaining close bonds amid life's complexities. It also touches on issues like internalized racism, colorism, and societal pressures, though some reviewers note certain themes are not fully explored.
The book has been praised for its realistic, flawed characters and engaging plot, and is being adapted into a major BBC TV drama series. It offers a compelling, modern take on friendship, culture, and ambition within the Nigerian-British diaspora.
