Described as Sex in the City with a killer edge, Nikki May鈥檚 debut novel Wahala is a story about three 30+ mixed race friends who live in London.

The novel, which has just been released, provoked a bidding-war between publishers and it鈥檚 already being made into a 麻豆社 drama series.

Nikki is 56 and Nigerian-British and says that she decided to write Wahala because she wanted to read a book that had people like her in it.

鈥淚鈥檓 mixed race and middle class. A lot of books written by black people centre on struggle, but it鈥檚 not a universal experience. I wanted to read about characters whose lives include jollof rice, cornrows and carjacking in the same breath as Ubers, focaccia and Soho House.鈥�
