An incisive and exhilarating debut novel of female friendship following three Anglo-Nigerian best friends and the lethally glamorous fourth woman who infiltrates their group--the most unforgettable girls since Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda.
A sharp, modern take on friendship, ambition, culture, and betrayal, Wahala (trouble) is an unforgettable novel from a brilliant new voice.. (She gets Simi an interview in Hong Kong! 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.
When the high-flying, charismatic Isobel explodes into the group, it seems at first she\'s bringing out the best in each woman.

But she\'s frustrated, unfulfilled, plagued by guilt, and desperate to remember who she used to be.
Boo has everything Ronke wants--a kind husband, gorgeous child.
Her friends think he\'s just another in a long line of dodgy Nigerian boyfriends.
She\'s dating Kayode and wants him to be "the one" (perfect, like her dead father). kids.
Ronke wants happily ever after and 2.2.
