The Sun Sets in Singapore by Kehinde Fadipe
4.0
The Sun Sets in Singapore is a vibrant novel about three expat women of Nigerian descent in their mid-30s navigating their intense professional and personal lives.
Dara is a hardworking lawyer aiming to become partner, Amaka is in finance trying to navigate complicated personal and family relationships, and Lillian is a former professional musician going through marital strife.
I really liked how the characters are in each other's lives. They are not the most likable, but they are relatable. There is a lot on the characters' professional lives, which I found a little less interesting.
Overall, it's a fascinating look into the lives of expatriate women in Singapore navigating relationships and a different country. I'd recommend this to fans of Kevin Kwan and Lauren Ho. The action and sense of place are cinematic.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC. All thoughts are my own.
