Basking in Singapores nonstop sunshine, Dara, Amaka, and Lillian are living the glamorous expat dreamuntil a mysterious (not to mention handsome) new arrival infiltrates their tight-knit community and ruins everything: "Wanderlust-inducing" (Lola Akinmade kerstrm, international bestselling author). The Lion City has gone by many names and is famous for many thingsits decadent street food, its world-class shopping, its lush gardens that burst with tropical blooms. But paradise is always hiding a snake. For Dara, a workaholic lawyer from the UK, Singapore is opportunity. Every day, brokering deals for her firms wealthy clientele, she gets closer to her ultimate goal: making partner. For Amaka, a sharp-tongued banker from Nigeria, Singapore is extravagance. Gucci, Prada, Hermsshe loves nothing more than to luxuriate in the major department stores that call her name on Orchard Road. And for Lillian, a former pianist turned trailing spouse from the U.S., Singapore is reinvention. In a stunning apartment with 360 views, the island seems to glitter as far as the eye can see. But complications are looming in the form of an enigmatic stranger, whose presence exposes cracks in Singapores beguiling faade. Daras ambitions mean she has no life outside the firm, and her insecurities are threatening to derail the promotion shes spent the last six years striving for. Amaka is desperate to escape the chaos she left behind at home and hiding a spiraling shopping addiction thats endangering her very sense of self. And while Lillians life may be the envy of outsiders, a new obsession is imperiling everythingand everyonearound her. In The Sun Sets in Singapore, Kehinde Fadipe captures the richness of this metropolis through the eyes of three tenacious women, who are about to learn that unfinished history can follow you anywhere, no matter how far you run from home.

The stunning cover grabbed my attention - the story, not so much! It felt slow and it was easy to get lost with all of the characters. 🎧

I really enjoyed this book! This is the November Read With Jenna pick and I‘m so glad I was able to read it this month. This was a book full of friendship, love, and finding yourself. It tells the story of three friends and one man and how their lives all intersect. It was such a meaningful read.

Singapore is high up on my travel bucket list, so when I came across this title and read the synopsis it really intrigued me.

Wonderful debut! I recommend this book if you are looking for a read set in a fun, exotic place and with great take on women handling friendships, careers, relationships and complicated family dynamics.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Release Date: 10/31/23
