The bestselling author Damilare Kuku lays bare the double standards women face in relationships, sexuality and the unforgiving court of public opinion. Ara Ikoyi is out of time. Three bestsellers behind her, she’s got no story for her next book – until her neighbour, Juicy Mbelu, becomes the centre of a fiery scandal. Accused of killing her sugar daddy, Juicy’s tale has everyone talking and Ara knows it’s her ticket to a page-turner. But getting the truth won’t be easy. Juicy agrees to share her story, but only if Ara meets two life-altering demands. First, she must trade secrets with the women of their Lagos estate, exposing her own vulnerabilities in the process. And second? She must tell Juicy’s story exactly as it is. What starts as a pursuit of one explosive headline barrels into a labyrinth of buried truths, dangerous power dynamics and ruthless judgment. Can Ara tell this story without irreversible fallout – for Juicy or herself? Or will some secrets prove too deadly to uncover?
