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?

I honestly did not expect this book to take me where it did. From the moment I started reading Women Rent Men and Secrets Here, I thought I had an idea of what kind of story I was getting into i was completely wrong, in the best way.
It kept me on my toes from start to finish. Every time I thought I had things figured out, something shifted and made me question what I thought I knew. It was intriguing, unexpected, and so hard to put down. What I loved most was that there was so much more beneath the surface than I expected. The secrets, the relationships, the twists, the way people are judged, and the things people choose to hide all made the story feel layered and unpredictable.
Such an amazing read. Definitely not what I expected when I picked it up, but I’m so glad I did.

I’d been waiting for this release for a couple of months and I wasn’t disappointed. The characters and their secrets had me enthralled. I’d like to hear more about burka…I did feel slightly disappointed by the ending… maybe it’s because I was sad the book was coming to an end or maybe I needed to hear more about the residents of the estate or what actually happened to Juicy’s lover. All in all… a great listen!

Interesting book…

I really enjoyed the book and the topics it covered. It’s unfortunate that the ending felt a bit rushed and not well thought out…unless I’m missing something.

Great book, rushed ending
