Is the story cute and lighthearted?  Yes. Could I seperate that from the fact that the entire thing is told from a straight white male pretending to be an African woman perspective? No.

He also talks about how fat the main character is approximately 10000 times. Unnecessary and typical for a male writer. I literally know everything about the physical appearance of the female characters but all the male characters descriptions are like “African male”. Every character is incredibly simple and two-dimensional with clear reflections of colonialism throughout the text. 

The individual investigations were sweet but I won’t be reading any further books in this series.
