Although the intro was a little clunky, I overall enjoyed this novel. All three character were well developed and the introduction of Lani was enough to pull me into the plot. It did feel that Amaka's family drama was too informational and for a moment I thought she was pursuing someone she thought was a relative (I got her POV confused with Lillians!) The ending was satisfactory but there were definitely some parts of the story that could've been chopped down.

"The Sun Sets in Singapore" by Kehinde Fadipe is a gripping novel that explores the lives of three expat women in Singapore whose worlds are turned upside down by the arrival of a mysterious and alluring man. Dara, a workaholic lawyer from the UK, is fighting for a promotion at her law firm and is threatened by the arrival of Lani, a new hire from Geneva. Amaka, a Nigerian banker, is struggling with a family dispute and a shopping addiction that could endanger her financial stability. Lillian, an American pianist turned "trailing spouse," is trying to come to terms with the end of her marriage while also dealing with the grief of losing her parents.

The story is skillfully woven, with each character's narrative interweaving with the others, and the tension building as they each confront their past and present struggles. The setting of Singapore provides a glamorous and exotic backdrop to the story, and Fadipe's writing beautifully captures the sights and sounds of the city.

The characters are all complex and well-drawn, each with their own flaws and insecurities. Their interactions with each other are fraught with tension and intrigue, and the arrival of Lani adds an element of danger and mystery to the story.

Overall, "The Sun Sets in Singapore" is a captivating and engrossing read that explores themes of identity, ambition, and the ghosts of our pasts. Fadipe's writing is lyrical and evocative, and she deftly captures the struggles and triumphs of her characters. Highly recommended for fans of contemporary fiction and anyone looking for a thrilling and thought-provoking read.
