About this item

Basking in Singapore's nonstop sunshine, Dara, Amaka, and Lillian are living the glamorous expat dream - until their carefully constructed lives are upended by a handsome and mysterious new arrival: "Wanderlust-inducing . . . A rich celebration of the nuanced complexities of Black womanhood" (Lola Akinmade Åkerstrom, international bestselling author) . Dara, a workaholic lawyer from the UK, is on the brink of partnership at her firm. Estranged from her mother, and perpetually uncomfortable around her hypercompetitive colleagues, her insecurities intensify when Lani, a new hire from Geneva, is assigned to work on what should have been her career-making case. Pitted against each other by their boss, Dara can't help but see Lani as a threat: a privileged man poised to take her place.
