??????

The most hotly-anticipated romcom of 2025, from the author of Reese''s Book Club Pick and TikTok Book Awards winner Honey & Spice...



Not every relationship makes it out of university.
But Kiki and Malakai were supposed to be forever.

Everything was perfect, until it all went up in flames.

Three years after their epic break-up, Kiki''s worked hard to forget her first love. But just as she thinks she''s got her life under control - jumping into the distractions of her romance-by-calendar-invite boyfriend, and plans for her best friend, Aminah''s, wedding - Kiki''s career implodes, the family business teeters on collapse, and Malakai returns . . .

As Malakai takes up his role as Best Man opposite her Maid of Honour, suddenly Kiki can think of nothing else: their simmering chemistry, what went wrong, and why it is now impossible to act normal around each other.

Juggling a new job, the prospect of her parents'' restaurant being sold, and keeping her best friend from going full bridezilla, dealing with The Ex is the last thing she needs. But somehow the spark between them is only getting hotter - and threatening to ruin everything.

They just have to get through the wedding, so why does it feel like playing with fire?

Heart-melting, hilarious and completely addictive, Kiki and Malakai return in this standalone second novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Bolu Babalola.
