Women Rent Men and Secrets Here

Synopsis

‘Kuku’s stories are delectable and fun.’ – GUARDIAN

‘Queen of the banging book title . . . I loved it.’ – NIKKI MAY

‘Sharply observational, funny and profound.’ – BOLU BABALOLA

Ara Ikoyi is out of time. Three bestsellers behind her, she has no new story – until her neighbour, Juicy Mbelu, is accused of killing her sugar daddy.

The scandal has everyone talking and Ara knows it’s her next hit. But Juicy will only talk on two conditions: Ara must trade secrets with the women of their Lagos estate, and she has to tell the story exactly as it is.

As whispers turn to revelations, Ara is pulled into a web of buried truths, dangerous power dynamics and ruthless judgement.

Can she tell Juicy's story without destroying them both? Or are some secrets too deadly to uncover?
