MARIE CLAIRE 'BEST BOOKS OF 2022' AND FEBRUARY PICK FOR MALALA'S LITERATI BOOKCLUB
Yinka wants to find love. Her mum wants to find it for her.
She also has too many aunties who frequently pray for her delivery from singledom, a preference for chicken and chips over traditional Nigerian food, and a bum she's sure is far too small as a result. Oh, and the fact that she's a thirty-one-year-old South-Londoner who doesn't believe in sex before marriage is a bit of an obstacle too...
When her cousin gets engaged, Yinka commences 'Operation Find A Date for Rachel's Wedding'. Armed with a totally flawless, incredibly specific plan, will Yinka find herself a huzband?
What if the thing she really needs to find is herself?

so relatable and true to life
I loved it.
Funny, relatable, true to life and feel good book (without the cheesyness as it is very realistic).
It was a bit triggering as I can relate so much to it.
This book is relatable on every level and made me feel sad at times but so good, pointing out the importance of therapy and loving and accepting yourself first.
Even being a light skin girl. My mum and aunts are just as pushy for marriage and I have been compared to my sister from what feels like the beginning of times. Because I always felt like I don't have the looks. Also my dream career is very far from the African parents expectations and I am a 40 year old single.
Hats off to the author!

Wow what can I say. I can’t believe I’ve started and finished this book so quickly. So well written and beautifully executed! The storyline was gripping and equally hilarious and witty whilst captivating the true Nigeria culture.
Really enjoyed and highly recommend

Familiar story told brilliantly
I enjoyed this very much, though I’m familiar with the plots, how it’s written kept me intrigued and interested, I was rooting for Yinka, many times frustrated with her and in the end wanted the very best for her. Brilliant narrative too, well done to the reader, good job!

Totally worth the read!!
This was such an amazing story and I did not expect the ending at all!! The narration and sound design was also brilliant, the added sounds of writing on paper or typing into a phone really helped you immerse yourself into Yinka’s world - and so good to hear an actual Black British person with that classic London accent narrate it too.

Great storytelling
The story was well written and told. Even though I am not a south London girl or millennial, I could relate to the themes.
